AI will is going to turn making art into a FACTORY automated task that can be run by one person, instead of hiring several artists to create art for all kinds of businesses like: animation, games, ads, books, etc. And this comes at a time when companies are acquiescing to demands by the orange rump administration.

A simple example:

I tasked CoPilot with making a utility box template for me to use to wrap my art around it.

Then I asked it to take one of the Generative AI images that I made for this task and wrap it around a utility box.

Took all of 5 minutes to do.

So when companies look to hire someone with little talent for art and just want someone to crank out a lot of art per hour just by typing sentences into AI, how much do you think that hired person will be valued and paid? They will be judged on the amount of images per hour, along with the quality. AI factory art is already taking hold.

Sure you can say that if talented artists are employed, they would create better art, faster and faster. I have doubts that companies would pay them the same rate as now. Maybe.

Hourly rates now for contract artists are currently at the 2002 rates. At least that's what I've seen on Linkedin and with some of the jobs that have come my way. Cost of living has skyrocketed and isn't expected to stop.

Generative AI devalues artists. Period.

Wallis Simpson: Beautiful, Dirty, Rich (Part 1)

The 5 STooGES is a team of factory artists that create some of the gallery's most iconic pieces.The group applies a neo-Warholian pop art twist on classic paintings that transforms them into bold, modern pieces.

One of the most beloved subjects of the 5 STooGES' pop art is the Duchess of Windsor, more simply and notoriously known as Wallis Simpson. She was the Marie Antoinette of the Jazz Age, the careless Yankee for whom a king abdicated his thrown for, and the ultimate "other woman" of her time. Wallis Simpson was not merely beautiful, dirty, and rich - she was a public obsession that still has the world encapsulated by her mystery.

So who was Wallis Simpson? Bessie Wallis Warfield was born in the summer of 1896 to well-established parents in a hotel on the Maryland-Pennsylvania border. She was an only child, and her father died a few months after she was born. As a result, her mother often had to rely on the kindness of family acquaintances to get by.

Fortunately, her uncle was able to send her to the most expensive all-girls private school in Maryland - Oldfields School. It was there where she befriended heiresses and future socialites, including her lifelong friend, Mary Kirk. It's an interesting observation that notable figures in history are often distinguishable from a young age. A fellow pupil at one of Wallis's schools recalled, "She was bright, brighter than all of us. She made up her mind to go to the head of the class, and she did. She was always immaculately dressed and pushed herself hard to do well." Another biographer wrote about her, "though Wallis' jaw was too heavy for her to be counted beautiful, her fine violet-blue eyes and petite figure, quick wits, vitality, and capacity for total concentration on her interlocutor ensured that she had many admirers." To the unknowing outsider, Wallis was simply a young woman who managed to get lucky. Upon closer inspection, however, she was a remarkably intelligent young woman who, despite the setback of her father's death, molded herself with sheer discipline into a fine lady suited for high society.
