gollark: It probably depends how elastic the demand for art is.
gollark: I'm not saying everyone will stop doing art and image models will be used instead, I'm saying *commercial* art will probably switch over to image models a significant amount.
gollark: Sure. I'm questioning the commercial viability of it.
gollark: If you can get decent-looking stuff with a few iterations of prompt tweaking you're probably not going to pay another person to do it for you.
gollark: If they want art because it looks nice or they need to advertise something, say, then they'll care less about it being "real art" by humans.
