It always angers me when I hear this, because not only can their service not be replicated and it is quite literally robbing people of an income, but AI is way too early into development to actually give any valuable input.
Power looms put a lot of textile workers out of work, but surely no one's wishing that they worked as a hand weaver at a factory today? Like Dave said, "jobs will disappear and new ones will appear, just as they always have". The real challenge is how, as a society, we can help those affected by those changes to pivot to new occupations, and for those who just can't, how we can support them.

Theoretically, artists have an advantage wherever they can do anything novel, because these models will not be able to reproduce it accurately. One might contest that it forces everyone into their own niches and rewards the kind of creativity that takes dramatic leaps outside the familiar and known.
My thoughts exactly. Real artists are not getting replaced by AI anytime soon. The sheer amount of AI slop out there shows that, while those tools are great for specific use cases, something is still missing to match a real artist's creativity and talent. But let's face it: because you draw does not make you an artist. The mediocre ones will get replaced, but is that really a problem?

I recently found about that a big spanish One Piece forum is having trouble because of bot attacks, possibly chinese AIs, causing an overload of 10000 active sesions and filling their space with activity logs.
I'm surprised that we're only really starting to hear about this now. We've been dealing with this problem since at least November 2023, and the first time I've read about an article about this issue was a few months ago. While there's no perfect solution, I think our approach is a good compromise.
