This is so fucked up.
That $150 an hour job? Its using fucking chatgpt or midjourney:
$150 an hour. For stealing other peoples work. For knowing how to use a tool that steals other people's work. This is the type of revenue pro-AIbros are protecting. They don't care about art. They don't care about creativity or honing their skills. They care about how they can write a fucking prompt (which isn't hard, there's so many tutorials online. Its like, the easiest type of programming ever if I can even call it that) $150 an hour. For MAYBE some photoshop skills to make the image not wonky (but tbh they probably outsource that work for cheap knowing them).
Artists are getting hugely fucked over not just morally, but financially.
However this does show something major:
These companies COULD be paying artists. They are WILLING to pay AIbros $150 fucking dollars an hour for the easiest job in the world. This should anger every worker, not just the artists who've been stolen from. These generators need to be shut down or at least scrubbed of stolen work.
