I actually don't agree with the idea that it's going to displace creative work. I'm a little worried that people running the finances of firms producing creative will try to displace people, but I don't think this stuff is actually going to displace high quality art. A well curated set of marketing material from openai isn't going to change my opinion on that. If you make something that's of high quality, regardless of how productive you were during the creation, people will seek that quality out. I don't think I've ever heard people be excited about a particular AI artist, just about the models. To me this kind of signals that the market for AI generated work is much smaller than people realize. And if you have to modify the output to actually break through, congratulations you're now an artist.
I don't like using these tools in my own work and I hope tech companies are somehow held accountable for using everyone's data without permission, but I'm actually pretty optimistic that this won't displace that many professional artists once the money people get a handle on how the attention economy actually responds to this stuff. I'm a lot more worried about people using this stuff to create propaganda, to frame people for crimes, or to create non-consentual porn of people.
