The market of people who care enough about those aspects to pay an expert is, I'm guessing, much smaller than the market for people who will be fine with whatever they can come up with themselves.
- thrill 4y agoThe market will decide if those "good enough" people are right.
- harimau777 4y agoPerhaps the market is wrong. Just because something is profitable doesn't make it good.
- barry-cotter 4y agoIf you don’t like the taste of the people who want to pay for art I suggest doing what is traditional and either (a) paying for it yourself, or (b) taking over or setting up the government funding for artists so that people who share your taste are in control.
- harimau777 4y agoMy concern is that there would be no one to pay for it because they have been driven out of the market.
- JackFr 4y agoThat doesn’t make sense. Buyers don’t get driven out of the market.
- harimau777 4y agoSorry, when I said "no one to pay for it" I meant "no one who could be paid to do it". In retrospect, my wording was ambiguous.
- noirbot 4y agoThey do if they lose their jobs. Art isn't something you must buy. I like to buy art, but if I lost my job, it's one of the first things I'll be cutting back on. And the less people are buying, the more the remaining artists have to charge to keep being able to afford to do art, which just spirals more people out of the buyers market.

- ghaff 4y agoHow many of those people would actually have paid an expert vs. downloading some stock photo or artwork and going close enough?
- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 4y agoIf we can have an infinite variation of personalized stock photos, I'm betting that the "good enough" side will win. I'm still not scared about my job since I provide specific solutions (C++ architectures) that an AI cannot produce (yet), but it's worrying for everyone and every kind of job at the same time.
