I am missing some distinction between the types of market they are talking about. I mean I could absolutely see that for the vast majority of markets where the art was already sort of slop-like before (e.g. stock pictures to put in news articles) and the customer doesn't really care what it shows exactly or even in some cases for markets where it is just about some random art piece to put on your wall where AI might benefit from being the new thing so it benefits from trends but what about markets where art needs to have some specific content, an area where AI is quite weak?
Like what exactly? Any examples?
Like concept art for movies or video games or art of specific people or art of people in specific poses the way you need it for story boarding or comics or art with the same characters repeatedly,...

AI is robbery.
