It's easy to switch.

That said, I think the comment is constructive. It used to be that websites, textbooks, etc would pay artists or pay for stock photos (which indirectly pays artists), but now they can gen a dozen or so images and pick their favorite.

I'm not saying this is good or bad, but I do agree that art will never be the same.
