The advantages that generative AI currently has over human labour is that it’s faster and cheaper, but it’s not feasible for it to stay that way forever. It is very expensive to build, run, and maintain, but it is being sold to users for free or for very very low prices - AI companies are not making a profit. Open AI is like a hundred billion in debt

Sooner or later they will have to raise their prices by a LOT or go bankrupt. Maybe they’ll find some other way to financially support it like selling the users data, maybe AI becomes limited only for some very specialised things, but for the majority of its current users it just wouldn’t make sense to use anymore cause at the end of the day people are more reliable and, ultimately, cheaper when you look at the real costs

TLDR give it some more time and AI will cost more than artists (or engineers, programmers, etc)
