This has never happened and will never happen. Jevon's paradox means they'll get more work.

The world is full of people who have been rendered unemployed or underemployed due to globalization and automation. Not only has it happened, it's happening now, and it will happen to knowledge workers and creatives. The increased demand for the work AI can produce will create jobs filled by AI, so Jevon's paradox doesn't guarantee anything. If it did, cities like Detroit wouldn't be ruins now, as the boom of outsour…

Detroit isn't all ruins, they rebuilt it. And it didn't get that way because of automation, which increases employment in manufacturing.

The moment I found myself in front of the screenshots I immediately noticed the very heavy patterns of NN-based generated graphic. Chiefly the distinctively smudged shapes - like 3D Google Maps as opposed to their earlier photographic aerial view.

That's the most exaggerated "er - no, absolutely not" I've seen. This is definitely indistinguishable for the vast majority of people.

> indistinguishable for the vast majority of people

It would be a very worrisome indicator if more than a minority of people were unable to detect monstruosities - one eye above one below, one smaller one bigger, one normal one vacuous, one pupil round one merging with the eyelashes...

The poster wrote «professional artists», and they are supposed to produce Quality. That thing that, when spread, helps educated perception recognize lower quality and odd outputs.
