Thanks for all the answers, here are the results for the survey in case you were wondering how you did!
Edit: People working in CS or a related field have a 9.59 avg score while the people that aren’t have a 9.61 avg.
People that have used AI image generators before got a 9.70 avg, while people that haven’t have a 9.39 avg score.
Edit 2: The data has slightly changed! Over 1,000 people have submitted results since posting this image, check the dataset to see live results. Be aware that many people saw the image and comments before submitting, so they've gotten spoiled on some results, which may be leading to a higher average recently: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI
Wow, I got a 12/20. I thought I would get less. I'm scared for the future of artists
Why? A lot of artists have adopted AI and use it as just another tool.
I'm sure artists can use it as another tool, but the problem comes when companies think they can get away with just using ai. Also, the ai has been trained using artwork without any artist permission
Which is an issue if those artists want to copyright their work. So far the US has maintained that AI generated art is not subject to copyright protection.
Only if it's 100% synth art. What about partial? We don't know.
As with other AI-enhanced jobs, that probably still means less jobs in the long run.
Now one artist can make more art in the same time, or produce different styles which previously had required different artists.
