If I can be a whingey bitch for a minute, the speed at which AI art is advancing is honestly making me scared that the career I hoped to go into is crumbling under my feet. If there's no use for concept artists anymore, maybe I could still hold out doing modelwork for games, but even then I wouldn't be surprised if in five years a bot can generate every background asset your game will ever need. Comics probably aren't far behind either. Months ago I had posted in this thread saying that AI art couldn't manage details, and well, that's out the window.
I don't know if I should try and tough it out and do my best to develop a "unique" style, or if I should just cut my losses, swear off art forever, and go full time into my normal job. Or just kill myself, because I don't know if I could live with knowing that I'm a failure who wasn't good enough to keep up with the changes of the world.
Anyway. Apologies for being dramatic, but this is the seething thread, and brother I'm seething. Coping even.
