Most of Arts will be automated away. Stable Diffusion is just the beginning.
Spoken like someone who doesn't understand why people engage with art in the first place. AKA a techbro.
People love Stable Diffusion, and use it a lot. Why do you think is that?
Because most people don't engage with art critically. See Marvel movies. Maybe others are fine with remixed slop but I am not.
It has already happened in our lifetime with medical illustration. This is pre-gpt. It will just now spread. Are generated diagrams worse in subtle ways? Yes, but not enough to matter for the difference in first or ease of use.
Nah. Association of Medical Illustrators
I have a Masters in Medical Art. (late 1980s) 35 years ago some were saying ‘we won’t need medical artists because of photography’ and then a few years later ‘because of personal computers’. This isn’t the case. But when the general public has access to a tool they love to talk about how a discipline is going away because ‘now anyone can do it’.
Yeah sure dude, let me just ask my mom who worked 30 years in the industry doing it.

If AI becomes responsible for producing Disney musicals, then they probably won't have any gay-coded characters anymore. What about Scar? What about Ursula? What about Gaston? What about Shang??
We need human artists because humans are capable of sneaking content that is actually societally beneficial into what would otherwise be soulless corporate products.
