China’s exports I heard are down and shipping containers are actually piling up at their ports.

I feel artists selling “generic art” for pictures in lobbies and homes are probably going to be out of a job.

The vast majority of artists don’t make a living selling the “generic art” that enthusiasts are so sure AI will disrupt (and if they do, certainly not individual pieces to hotels/coffee shops/etc, but bulk licensing through agencies)

At most it would be replacing one licensing middleman for another.

> bulk licensing through agencies

And the agencies pay the artists, yes? Now you can just get art from MidJourney and skip the artists.

“Piling up” should be visible. Is there photo or satellite evidence of that?
