With all the fuzz about IA image “stealing” illustrator job, I am curious about how much photography changed the art world in the 19th century.
There was a time where getting a portrait done was a relatively big thing, requiring several days of work for a painter, while you had to stand still for a while so the painter knew what you looked like, and then with photography, all you had to do was to stand still for a few minutes, and you’ll get a picture of you printed on paper the next day.
How did it impact the average painter who was getting paid to paint people once in their lifetime.
What if I tasked an LLM with replying to your comment? Say I instruct it to provide something with an agreeable tone and I pick one out of two or three drafts.
Is it still me?
I suppose that by that point it’s not much different than having a speech writer…
