Well, it's here. Now anyone can create a reasonable-looking piece of art via Midjourney or various other art AI-applied programmes. This might mean disaster for artists, whose livelihood depends upon their skill at picture creation, but there appears to be no stopping the technology. I decided to make this thread for anyone with concerns or wants to throw in their opinion, artists or not. I feel it might be like Digital publishing which was once feared to be replacing books, and that didn't happen, so maybe there's a silver lining to AI-Geddon. Nothing can replace the human touch in picture-making, IMHO.
