> This isn’t high quality imagery. Don’t get me wrong, the tech is cool and I love the work that’s went into making this picture. But this isn’t something I would ever hang on my wall.

Well yeah but that doesn't change the OP commenter's point that it takes a lot of work to get high quality art still.

> I don’t think the artists need to worry.

I disagree here but only on the basis of what type of art it is. Stock art/photography, and a lot of media designwork is likely at risk because we can now create "good enough" art at the click of a button for almost no cost. I agree that the "hang on the wall level good" artists aren't at risk just yet, but between the more filler-art and the uh

Well "anime/furry" commissioners are definitely at risk right now for anything except the highest quality artists, and there is a MASSIVE community behind this - in fact they have done a lot of the innovation for StableDiffusion including optimizations/A1111 webui, and have trained many custom models for their art, already had pretagged datasets of 10k's of images....

Simpler cartooning styles like classical Disney/Warner are actually some of the weakest ones in AI models right now. Prompted diffusion models are poorly suited to the task and tend to capture excess detail in the contour, because they don't have a mechanism for calculating out the geometry of a constructed form, so they don't arrive at the same clarity and simplicity.

What the model can do best is to convert a basic contour sketch into an elaborate rendering, which means that it's the top end of the market that was doing those renderings that's most at risk.
