This is a cool technological feat but what is the cost to humanity and its artists?

Some of these replies seem rather dismissive to the artists’ plight.

They're dismissive because we've had the same moral panics before with the introduction of photography, then sound recordings, and then digital art tools, and then vector art, and then 3D, and also the Internet to an extent, and...

You can see where this is going, right? In the end, humanity and even artists will be fine overall, even if the world changes.

This feels different to me. This isn’t the camera going from film to digital. This is the camera taking over the photo creation process, and developing them, and selling them. What’s the point of the human?

It feels different because you are living through the change. What happened before is something you read about and already know the outcome. Future generations will say the same.

how will artists be fine when Google can steal all their work, then use that to compete with them and ultimately replace them

for the cost of showing ads?

Cost is nothing because this service isn't offered currently. No income lost and might spark an interest in coloring books which grows the artist's income.

Artists have been around and existed in more repressive societies throughout time. The best art is usually produced from the greatest struggle. Artists will engage and create art in this new world. The cost of not providing a new surface for artists to explore is what kills art.

How does buying an AI generated coloring book lead to more sales for the artist that doesn’t offer AI generated coloring books?
