I've seen some videos completely AI generated that looked flawless yesterday. Every day I feel more and more uncertain I'll ever find a job again in the industry.
As an artist I've been loving bing to help me model and design characters based on my descriptions. I'm good at knowing what I want and good at drawing and sculpting but the middle step is what I have trouble with.
I've managed to create several new characters I've always wanted to and even put them in different poses and lighting and angles. It's freaking awesome!
Sure, it is awesome. That's not my point. Did you find employment or are you making a livable income thanks to that though?
It's a tool, like a calculator. Any expert in their field can derive usefulness from it by automating certain tasks. An experienced programmer or artist will always be able to answer interview questions for example.
I think your question does not apply to OP. They are gainfully employed and use this tool to make their work more efficient and apparently able to create content they normally would not be able to.
To OP or to the person I was replying to? I think my first comment is relevant to the post, but the person who answered me next didn't get what I was saying. Like I said, it is a very efficient tool. It means the work that required a team of, say, 5 people employing a specific workflow, can be now done by one or two with a totally different workflow. This means five people will have to retrain in a new field potentially not of their liking or matching with their natural abilities, and even if all five succeed you still have three out of work. That's what I'm getting at, not the efficiency or usability of AI. Of course AI is incredibly useful.
