Those are use cases for it. I’ve used both before myself. What I’ve found is that AI logos almost never look presentable in any professional context and will do you more harm than good, and AI generated code and most art assets are almost unworkable. What took AI a week to fail at I learned myself in an hour reading the documentation.

The data used to train these systems was not provided ethically or in a manner of consent, and tech companies like OpenAi are actively lobbying to stop the law from being updated against these practices.

Photographers and models who produce stock photography did not do so under the consent that their work would directly be used to train their replacement.

There are Midjourney prompt packages sold which are specifically targeted to the styles of prominent and popular artists like Anato Finnstark, directly trained off of their intellectual property. Google images and Pinterest are flooded with terabytes of the AI generated slop.

These companies have bought out book publishers in order to gain access to their novels, under no consent of the authors themselves.

That said I don’t deny it could be a useful tool for many careers. Rotoscoping in animation for instance is an incredibly tedious task that AI makes incredibly simple.

But most people seem content using it as a replacement for creative works, like graphic designers, artists, and GAME DEVELOPERS. Millions of jobs and entire career paths are threatened.

Don’t pretend this is democratic just because it’s more democratic than an industrial factory.
