artists were getting fired by the fuckton before ai.  ai was just the straw that broke the cameltoe.  most artists in industry got pushed to be software devs because 'jeets can art cheaper and just as well for pennies per day. sure, they might fuck up spelling in ads, but a proofer is cheaper than an artist and can check the work of hundreds of 'jeets per day.  shartists are just upset that their side hustle of making shitty fantasy art for homos is no longer needed, the homos can make their own retarded fantasy art.  shartist has never been a highly lucrative occupation and these retards should have seen it coming when software like photoshop turned their job into everybody's hobby.  instead they all became photoshop experts, forgot how to make non-digital art completely (if they ever learned to begin with), and now they're whining because the career they stupidly chose is being upended again by yet another technological development that opens it up to everybody.  tough shit.
