Art is political more than it is technical. People like Banksy’s art because it’s Banksy, not because he creates accurate images of policemen and girls with balloons. | ||||||||

I think "cultural" is a better word there than "political." But Banksy wasn't originally Banksy. I would imagine that you'll see some new heavily-AI-using artists pop up and become name brands in the next decade. (One wildcard here could be if the super-wealthy art-speculation bubble ever pops.) Flickr, etc, didn't stop new photographers from having exhibitions and being part of the regular "art world" so I expect the easy availability of slop-level generated images similarly won't change that some people will do it in a way that makes them in-demand and popular at the high end. At the low-to-medium end there are already very few "working artists" because of a steady decline after the spread of recorded media. Advertising is an area where working artists will be hit hard but is also a field where the "serious" art world generally doesn't consider it art in the first place. | ||||||||
