I recently did an AMA in the Stable Diffusion subreddit - I have a very pessimistic outlook on AI. I have reserved my future to looking at the slight silver linings in a world where I thought the battle had already been lost.

I know of a few friends who have quit art entirely because the future of commercial art seems to hold no prospects. I know people that have been reassigned to other job descriptions because AI was just too efficient. Here is hoping things aren't so bleak for this industry in the future.
