For cheap fap material maybe, like 99% of the AI Porn I have saw are alway just the girls standing and breast exposed, so for anyone who is pleased with that, surely AI is the way to go

But when It comes for certain details I think thats what stop AI currently, unless the people really know what are doing, so at least not anyone will capable to trully developed something

But who knows, maybe the software will develop to do more complex stuff in more easy ways and then it could potentially become a threat for artists

AI draws from existing art so artists can breathe easily.
If they stop producing original art text to image, AI will have nothing to "draw" from
IMVHO
Every new idea is condemned, then reluctantly used, and then embraced.
Photography was going to **** painting/drawing
Television was going to **** theatre/movies

A new career is born: AI "Trainer"!

AI uses human artists' "data" to draw. So of course human art is better. They are just fast but no soul in that drawing.
Well, good thing wHentai not allow anyone to use AI for commission, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong xD

Nothing beats artists in my opinion. Nothing will replace them!

Kinda forgetting the never loved people that are attacking the artists they ripped off with their "AIrt" or just straight up having laughed over making terrible **** with dead artists' art like Kentaro Miura or Kim Jung Gi and having laughed over it
Ai could be a decent tool, but it attracts scammers and people that are jealous of hard work artists can do

AI can be kinda nice ngl, but I think the majority of AI art lacks "soul" (don't know how to describe it else) and there's certain attention to detail in "normal" work which AI can't replace.

Also I find it really laughable what prices "AI-artists" expect from their work. Sure, it takes kinda some s**** to get decent results, but drawing stuff yourself is obviously another world imo.

“Every fact of science was once damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and ‘progress,’ everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man’s refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, ‘Disobedience was man’s Original Virtue.”
- Robert Anton Wil***

The Kim Jung Gi case disgusted me, they have no scruples

I've seen some of the AI work on wHentai, but it's usually not appealing because it's the same style and positions.

The currently Ai will not extinct the job of the artist and probably even not when is more advantaced but people should not forget that the Ai is just in the "learning phase".

Yes, it is using the artwork of artist to crete picture but only to learn from it, like every kind in school.

When the learning phase is over it should be able to create "stuff" based on what it learned.

I mean some stuff looking are already looking "ok to "good".

You're already getting per***alized advertising based on the behavior you show because Ai software is tracking and that's already worth millions, but now if another Ai could create the perfect image for that per***alized advertising, what do you think it's worth will be?

but it really depends how the final version of the AI is working and how it will be distributed to the people.

If you have to buy this software for $2000 dollars, only companies and people which really want will probably use it.

If is cheap and also effectively enough, for what you need the artist in the case of generally art anymore?

You basically would do the same, give some example and some Keywords to the Ai and it would produce something much faster, so you just replace who gets your commission
and would cut the "another human" part of the commission.

So you invest less time and don't have to deal with human uncontrolled emotion when using an AI and if you look at state of the world, you must remove even more human emotion for the most part.

Look how many artists complain about non-payment back then (which is the understandable part) but they threaten also to leave and offers alternative ways with them to make an commission through twitter or whatever and they still stayed in the end. Why?

Either because they got an reality check and figured out they need Whentai to get work or they stay to advertising their work in hope to find customer because those artist who have alternative ways to sell their work have left already.

Oh and yes, the "hard work" is historically replaced

for example
Horses are replaced by engines.
People in factories are being replaced by machines at least for the most part of the production.

However if the Ai will be sucessful or not depends on the customer and not the artist.

You are certainly right

Same style and positions?
Check

There's an art to writing the "prompts" to get close to what you want.
But it's not there yet.

if they can learn to interpretate feelings maybe (but that's something only us can do) so i highly doubt about it
