i use them for my personal stuff. i use a.i. art and put my own art in it. they can be both good and bad like any art.

What do you think about it?

I'll start:

In my honest opinion, I think its kind of like a "plague", can't look anywhere without seeing it...
Recently, shops in my area started using it. Why can't they get a picture off the internet, or, hire an artist? Its totally BS in my opinion.

I think it's going to be horrible for artists in the near future. I almost went into school for art & design and right now I'm VERY thankful I didn't. There will still be some businesses that appreciate human-made art and will hire artists but with the more recent developments in AI tech being able to make ads that are nearly indistinguishable from human-made advertising I'd imagine many will take the cheaper route and just use AI.

As a (very mediocre) artist, it's just sad seeing the direction this is going. I can understand why people support it and enjoy being given the ability to turn their ideas into ai generated images, but I think it will overall be detrimental to the cultural progression of art. Now that businesses are using it we will see a lot of artists out of work and unable to pursue their passions. This may be a reach, but there will be no real incentive for young artists to continue into the professional world of art, because there will be very few jobs in it.
