If you can’t make money as an artist, that’s society’s way of telling you that your artwork is not good enough to justify your labor being tied up doing that, so your labor should go towards producing things that consumers actually value. If capitalism was destroyed, those market signals would be lost.
Capitalism is about helping other people. It’s selfish to think that you’re entitled to earn a living — meaning other people are obligated to expend resources to support you — without actually doing stuff that other people value.

there will definitely still be people who spend 20k+ hours on art, they might mostly spend it tweaking AI art though

It could be argued with a tool like this people would never put in the 20k+ hours to become a master like Picasso ever again. But maybe if the world no longer has a currency and agi has taken sentience and there’s no reason to work anymore would make my point be moot? Perhaps people would spend their time making art for arts sake?

That sounds incredibly sus. There's no such sites that I'm aware of.

I think folk’s most significant motivations for becoming ‘good at art’ are largely the act in itself and a providing a clearer voice for themselves to express their lived experience. You can’t take either of those away, but you can strongly influence the medium. In the way that digital manipulation and illustration tools (Photoshop, Illustrator) might be considered as somehow destroying art, I wonder if people able to elaborately, thoughtfully, and majestically direct AI to create their vision may become a thing of value.

Why does capitalism have to be destroyed?
At least under capitalism, you get to make the call on balancing lifestyle and working hours instead of mandate fixed labor contribution. That seems like it would be better for artists?

All people use it for apparently is big boobed chicks and anime babes.

I will never be as good as Messi but I still practice football everyday because I enjoy it.

The goal of AI automation is unemployment for all.
Eventually, there will be no such thing as a profession.

I may be thinking of it as a profession. As a hobby, yes I agree.

One might argue the opposite, artists just got a huge tool to take their skills to the next level, while turning every non artist into one as well. We just got 8 billion artists, and some of those are bound to be undiscovered Picassos.

People still play go,chess and dota 2, despite their being bots better than the top humans in all 3, people still ride horses despite their being vehicles, people don’t need to be the best to enjoy themselves.

It is the fact that the glove comes out of nowhere touching a woman's breast, that leapt out at he as soon as I looked at the picture. It is only after looking at the magic pervy glove that I noticed those fingers look a bit packed.

That concept makes no sense to me. I am below average as a montain climber, yet I do it anyway. I push myself forward. Not for "society", for me.
I ignore other people's accomplishments, for they are not mine and of no use to me.

The motivation to get good at a skill related to art/music will be gone, since it takes years to attain skill. How can you train yourself to get good at something a computer can always do better? You would immediately feel defeated, and the death of the artist/musician will result. This is my very humble opinion.

V5 eliminates the majority of 6 fingers glitches. V6 will be even better

There is still a 6 finger glove coming from nowhere to the middle women's breast though.

Yep, I tend to post process these images on Google photos's magic eraser to remove these, it works sometimes...

Art is a business within capitalist society. If you can't make money, you die in the streets.
If capitalism can be destroyed, people might be able to spend leisure time on art projects.

URPM is a good one. Just search for that to find it. You'll need to be logged in to see it because it's a NSFW model.
