The AI Art Apocalypse
I think the fear of AI art is really unfounded. Once the novelty wears off, people will learn to view it for what it is: fancy clip art. You&#x27;ll see pieces by Midjourney at your local Urban Outfitters as &quot;cool&quot; wall art, probably on some graphic tees; just a bunch of generic junk really.<p>It&#x27;s use online will become as ubiquitous as stock photography, and you&#x27;ll see the same images used everywhere and for everything.<p>Digital art as a whole will probably be most negatively impacted, because we will view things much more negatively knowing the tools involved. I already can&#x27;t enjoy anything Midjourney makes because it all looks the same. I just immediately turn my brain off when I see that signature style. Was certainly cool for a few minutes though.<p>ShutterStock should be concerned, but artists and graphic designers don&#x27;t need to worry. Just another tool.
