I find the premise that AI “cheapens art” to be spurious at best. There have been generations upon generations of crummy, unimaginative art. There have been decades of labor undercutting domestic artists. AI makes it easier for companies to be cheap, but that’s not new. They’ve been fighting to be cheap forever. How many artists of all stripes have been baited by “do it for the exposure” It doesn’t cheapen imagination. More people can express their ideas. I can’t help but think any company worth its salt is going to have artists on staff anyway - if for no other reason than to provide useful context for the art being generated.
