THIS IS JUST MY OBSERVATION:
The creation of AI graphics will harm and eventually kill the art market. Already non-artists are generating artwork a hundred at a time and selling them as downloads, as prints, on t-shirts, etc., along side real artists. I feel for those that have invested financially in years of college education to become a graphic artists. It is becoming increasingly hard to identify the real from the fake art in some instances. While it is fun now for everyone who wants to to type in a text prompt and see an image get generated, eventually it will have a ripple effect on real artists being able to earn a living. Also, I see the educational system affected (no one will need to go to college to take up graphic design so colleges will lose money). Same for programming, why go to college to become a computer programmer when you can just type in a prompt and it will write code for you.
On the good side: I can see an artist that has an idea but can't visualize it so they create a few AI images for inspiration to get one's creative juices flowing. However, they go on to create their on work (not use the generated images).
The bad side: People (non-artists) are opening up shops and generating 1000s of images to sell (as is) as download, sell as pictures, etc. and because of this it is beginning to over saturate the market. AI technology encourages you to include in your text prompt a specific artist/style that will use to generate the images. For me it seems like copying to refer to a specific artist/style (we have copyright laws that forbid copying another's work). However with AI loads of artists have had examples of their work fed into the AI system (without their permission or compensation). Seems like stealing (at least that is how some artist feel). AI creators say it is not they art was just to teach the AI system. There are legal battles going on about this and it will be interesting how it pans out.
All said, while I am just talking about the art market I'm sure there are other areas that AI will affect for the worst. Basically anything that can be created via a computer will suffer (art, programming, writing, movies, etc.) If you have a service skill such as carpentry, plumbing, etc. then you may be safe for a while until they introduce robots to do those jobs too. 😵💫
As already said people rely on money to live and it will be difficult to make a living in this system as AI will have replaced humans workers in the workforce.
