@VGMoose Adobe, Mitsua, and Laion (Laion doesn't anymore though, but did for awhile) these are the only ones I've researched in the past cause of stocks they all only use public domains. Other models are trained to use only licensed content. The theory has already been made with multiple companies and the only AI art jobs that are being taken are low executive jobs for things like video games or general production. They take what some may consider a job. However, no jobs are lost, because the same person has to think of the prompt, and after they spend hours polishing, adjusting, and if it's disliked, it's tossed, there's more room for error, so they actually need more lower executive jobs, so more jobs are being created however AI art is still only a single digit billion wise it will never grow up to an over 50 billion possibly a 70 billion because people won't let that happen it's thought that it'll reach 40 billion by 2033 if it keeps growing the way it is. It's highly unlikely though, because it's only grown this fast because it is new technology. Same thing with phones, Bluetooth, electricity, the railroads. Whenever something new comes out, they predict it's going to be the biggest thing, and they always get huge. Yes, but they almost always overestimate it. Railroads, for example, during the "Railway Mania", people believed it would be hundreds of millions of dollars. While it is not worth that much, they always over estimate how much wealth actually will come with it. Which is because it's new tech it's the "Coolest thing" of the time. It might be it now because it's what keeps the world running to some extent. Phone's or AI. That's not something that is going to improve the economy and life tenfold. They've always overestimated how much it brings. AI may reach 40 billion eventually. Even if they reach it, art will still be a good 20 to 30 billion, and as AI art grows, more artists will show up improving art's wealth too. Human-made Art is not going extinct nor will it ever. The world has seen it time and time again. (This is my opinion plus research and facts, so while it is true people can still hate AI, I'm just giving as many of the facts as I can.)
