One of my college graphic design teachers was an old man who had been doing commercial art since the 60s. He’d tell us about how there used to be one guy who handled the colours, one guy who handled the lettering, a photographer or illustrator, and an art director overseeing them all. We’re not even going to get into the copywriter, creative directors, ane printers.
Then adobe and computers came in and now one guy will handle all those jobs on a single project. And that one guy is paid a lot less than any single individual would’ve been.
The AI doesn’t remove the need for an artist or designer, you seem to always need someone who knows what they’re actually doing in order to get reliable results from the AI. What it will probably do is allow a creative to work on a wider variety of projects and reduce the amount of paid creative work that’s available to professionals.

Hm. Not sure how I feel about a company treating an artstyle like it’s their own legally protectable trademark or intellectual property.
They call it a studio ghibli filter and you can just say ‘studio ghibli style’ and everyone immediately knows what you’re talking about

They’re experiencing positive re-enforcement when they get violent with the people they’ve intrapped. They’re getting more violent because they want more of the positive online feedback they’ve been getting.
There is no lofty thought process about justice.

In the 1980s, it was possible for a McDonald’s worker to afford a house on their salary alone due to lower housing costs and higher relative purchasing power. For example, in 1980, the average home price was around $47,200, and minimum wage workers could feasibly save for a down payment with disciplined budgeting[5].
Today, this scenario is nearly impossible. Housing costs have skyrocketed while wages have stagnated. A full-time McDonald’s worker earning $8.75/hour would gross about $13,811 annually, far below the income needed to afford even modest housing without spending more than 30% of their income on rent[2][4].
