i know people who have used AI art to produce something not possible for a human artist in a short time frame. it was part of a larger product which was more than just art, and wouldn’t have had nearly the same impact without the art. it actually does empower small artists if they think outside the box about how to use it.
I think as long as you can keep it at arm’s length and don’t let it permeate your entire process, it can be valuable in triggering things during that ideation and creative process. That’s ultimately how I think tools like this should exist. They should be at your side filling a small percentage of need, with the human artist building something larger from it.
That said, the timeframe for producing things continues to shrink because of unrealistic capitalist demands. So anything that brings a 12-hour process to 1 hour is heralded in as progress by execs, even if it demoralizes the creative team and reduces their personal footprint.

it can also be used just give human made art visual cohesiveness, making multiple images have a unified style.
I like the idea of feeding your art into it to see various styles side by side. Reminds me of the Photoshop editing days.
