Honestly I think AI will actually make a really cool tool for a lot of artists. They'll be able to do things like focus on the core subject of the image and tell the ai to just put some grass over in that corner there and maybe a butterfly or something... nah a blue butterfly specifically so it goes with the models eyes. Or to help fill in minor NPCs in a video game or make the textures for the inside of openable crates. The part the big execs don't understand is that you still need a human with a genuine and interesting idea. The AI is just the polish, and a polished turd is still a turd. And there will of course still be some kind of demand for media with the kind of attention to detail where every flower petal is hand painted. People still buy bespoke ~~handbags and jeans and teapots and-~~ literally anything.

To me the important part is making sure it's a public resource. The cat is out of the bag and they're not gonna stop. To me the most important thing now is making sure it's something everyone has access to. A coworker also recently pointed out that making sure everyone has access to it means everyone knowing how it works. A lot of people are acting like this is some horrible evil thing to exist, but I would like to present the idea that it could be just as horrible and evil AND completely within the knowledge and under the control of the bourgeoisie.

One of the better tooling ideas I've heard is from a friend of mine who does board game development. One of the problems is going back and forth with the artist over what's wanted. With an AI image generator, he can get something along the right lines, and then take it to the artist as an example.
