Reply to comment by Grenvallion in AI will reduce the number of starving artists, one way or another by Wyrdeone

That's fair, absolutely. The niche interest areas definitely die last. But you gotta understand that if there was a pie chart of worldwide spending on 'art' which is a product of artists, weirdly specific internet drawing commissions are a vanishingly small percentage.

Depends what it's for. To make it easier to understand why I included specifics, the way I did. Think of making art for a an indie game dev. Indi devs need specific art for their games. This type of art can't be done with ai and will be expensive. The same is true for 2d animation. 2d animation is still art, a bit beyond typical art but pretty easy for a good artist to learn, as its just drawing and redrawing things in new frames. This is expensive too. High quality sprites aren't cheap, but aren't ridiculously hard for artists to do either.
