The tragedy of the author of the post is that they expected that the product of their work would be treated like art, but it turned out their boss had different vision.
Nothing of value have been lost, because the artistic value of author's work has never been actually appreciated in the first place - but they tricked themselves into thinking it has (because of paycheck I guess).

This! Unironically, this. The tragedy of the author of the post is that they expected that the product of their work would be treated like art, but it turned out their boss had different vision.

People are already generating entire apps with AI in minutes. Software engineering as a profession is finished. We are all now slaves to Roko’s Basilisk.

I keep seeing some real dramatic premonitions about AI, and I'd love to see something to back them up.
Even the original post, I'm having trouble understanding. I know Stable Diffusion can create some amazing images, but I don't see how it's being used to create sprite assets for games. You typically need the same character from different angles. Can Midjourney v5 do that? The OP talks about being a 3D artist. Can Midjourney generate meshes and 3D objects or just raster images? I didn't think we were at the point where these tools could fully replace an artist's workflow, but the OP seems to claim so.
People with a good understanding of different styles of art and framing/angles/etc should be able to create the "right" prompts for a customer much much faster and get better results than people who don't know art. Generative AI like Midjourney will completely upend the art industry (it already is). But I don't think it's the death knell for the study of art. Here's a solid example of that in the context of creating…

Since it only takes minutes to make you must have a lot of examples.
LOL at the reply a couple posts down, where OP admits they work at a mobile shovelware sweatshop.

Can you share examples of this? I've been doing some searching on my own because I find this stuff interesting, and I haven't seen evidence that current versions of AI tools are capable of helping generate entire apps in minutes, at least non-trivial ones.

Mel obviously took pride in his work, and seemed to look down on compilers in much the same way the author looks down on Midjourney.
