Yeah, many differences, one of which is that the further employs far more people. Another is that the latter is not going to dissolve itself to be replaced by AI when the former fires artists to do that.
There is already very little market for the kind of art we all care about, so maybe we should worry less about the marketability of art.
What makes you think those artists are going to be replaced by AI though? I don't think people who buy art off a local artist are gonna go "you know what, let's just print off this Midjourney shit"? I don't at all.
I actually don't think most people put art on their walls at all. The people who do, value a human connection in the art, not just something that looks cool (if you don't care about the ai look).
Oh sorry lol
