I can also see it going in a myriad of other directions, though my biases are clear. - People at art conventions walking up to artists and asking them what model and keywords they used, insinuating that no human talent was involved in the process. - An unresolvable divide between "AI is just another tool" and "AI instills distrust" spreading to mainstream discourse. - Comments on art posted online filled with requests for "keywords please," because that's what AI would train us to expect out of creators. - Commercialization and legitimation of plagiarism through the "just another tool" argument. - No longer being able to detach yourself from the AI debate every time you see a photo or illustration online. No longer being capable of knowing if there was a human behind a creation. Constantly having to worry if the person you're chatting with is the entire human, or if some parts were outsourced. - Never being able to go back to now, before the sphere of illustration has been "polluted" from the proliferation of AI art, when we cannot uninvent the tools and anyone can spin up another private instance. Banning the use of a technology is impossible but perhaps nothing less would prevent such a hypothetical outcome in the face of perceived progress.
