Unspottable AI acts a substitute for real art and stops real artists from getting the support they need.
in 2024-2025 we've been seeing ai art getting uncannily good and I've wanted to talk about how unspottable AI harms artists.
Now, unspottable AI is not a thing that happens a lot but in a hypothetical situation where every AI bro got access to it chaos would rain down upon artists.
AI bros can create unspottable AI art at any time they want without effort, without burnout. (they can create up to 6 generations a day)
Artists have to take breaks, manage comissions, and can get into art block.
In that situation, AI artists could spam generate a bunch of AI art which would shift the balance and cause there to be more AI art then normal art.
Now in this situation most art would be AI art and if you are searching for digital art on social media, you could support the lazy AI artist which at times can be bots instead of a hard working artist. It would become harder to support real artists.
This is just in a situation where AI art is unspottable but in situations where it is spottable you would stop searching for social media art because of the sheer amount of AI art, and if those AI artists didn't exist you would've supported somebody. So still a loss even if it were spottable.
