gollark: <> is usable maybe, right?
gollark: I mean this semiunironically. It is *already* possible to generate fairly artistic images automatically via CLIP+VQGAN and similar things. This will only improve over time. Because people often like knowing that people went to some effort to make a thing, though (see handmade goods, etc.) there will probably be demand for human art anyway.

gollark: Art will be automated in 10 years anyway.
