Like every other kind of technology before, DALL-E and Co. will help the mass to create a lot of amusing and sometimes passable artworks. Just like the compact camera and the phone camera had helped create billions more photos compared to the previous generations of equipments. But arguably, the trillions of photos and billions of potential photographers didn't help to bring further the art of photography much. Combined with myriads photo apps, they help created tons of amusing and pleasant photo artworks. They raised the bar for what is considered a good, acceptable photo and montage work today. They made creating good photo work much faster and cheaper for the mass, and ways more accessible. However, they didn't change the standard for professional work because they still require the hand and the mind of a talented artist. It will democratize the illustration process but like in every democracy, the elites still set the tone and exercise enormous influences. In other word, new technology will skew the distribution to the right, increase the median dramatically and leave the old bottom half obsolete. But not the top 5%.
