    turns on phone

    goes to the clock app to set an alarm so I can wake up in the morning

    phone sends a push notification of names and contact numbers

    “Siri what is this?”

    “It’s a list of knocker ups you can hire to wake you up and are looking for new clients”

    Knocker ups’ comment on this story: “This is a horror story to a techbro and a feel-good comedy to anyone with a sense of human decency”

      In all seriousness though, I wouldn’t pay money to look at pretty pictures. If I wanted an image but AI didn’t exist, I wouldn’t commission anyone. The image that I want just simply wouldn’t exist.

          The point is that there is a niche that isn’t covered by commercial artists that AI image generation fills quite nicely, and complaining about it is like complaining that you no longer phone the operator to connect your telephone calls.

              moodboarding, design concepting, D&D scene setting/ npc portraits, making stupid images of friends that would used to mean 40 minutes of photoshop (and not everyone knows how to photoshop)

              No-one would bother to pay an artist for any if that, you would either copy images from the internet, do without, or try to do it yourself. AI has just massively lowered the skill barrier for doing it yourself.
