In essence, both are true. Regardless of AI being presented as a solution at your fingertips, it is still a tool, albeit a somewhat simpler one to use. It requires at least basic programming knowledge to control prompts, as well as knowledge of aesthetics, form, and camera usage to fully harness it. To make the most out of it, you need to be an artist. That's why some AI works are repetitive and similar, while others make you go 'WOW, what happened here?' For example, Stable diffusion works like Nvidia's deep learning algorithm. To avoid artifacts in the camera, I had to write a sinusoidal formula :)"
I hope this captures the essence of your original message! Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.In one word, a professional is needed for AI to truly deliver results, it can't be done with just a click.Therefore, I am not very afraid that AI will replace the profession; it can accelerate it. Currently, there is a lot of hype, and us artists feel threatened because clients refuse to pay the fair price, claiming they can do it themselves with AI. However, I see that tensions are easing, and it's not exactly the case. Here on Upwork, there are increasingly more job postings with descriptions like "We need someone who is skilled in AI to achieve coherence." Prices are still lower because they don't understand the time and repetitions required, but I believe that will be sorted out soon.You simply have to KNOW what you're doing.
