I feel like AI art will become so saturated that we’ll start turning to teenagers on deviant art to do $5 commissions

    It’s certainly feasible that, as with other technology, it starts out controversial but then becomes mundane and overdone. It’s not exactly the same as how people have started collecting records again, but records might be a decent metaphor for it.

    But, no guarantees. Not every piece of disruptive technology ultimately catches on. (Smellovision, for example.)

      I’d say we’ve reached the point of AI art becoming mundane as of this moment. Most people don’t really care anymore about AI art, and many actively avoid it. It doesn’t have that same “Wow!”-factor it had the first couple of months when it was becoming “good”.

        No, we are still years off from it being mundane.

        In order for it to be mundane, people need to stop caring about it. But it’s still a hotbed issue, complex and full of nuance. Nobody agrees whether it’s good or bad. The reality is probably somewhere in between.

        Mundane doesn’t just mean commonplace, it needs to be non-controversial. Like how rock and roll music was controversial even through the 1960s and 1970s, but (as a whole) isn’t now.
