So you’re saying you don’t know of any financially struggling artists.

How exactly would you hear about an artist who isn’t doing well financially but is so popular you’d hear about them? If you actually hung out in artist circles then you’d know a lot of artists like that, so yeah, I’m assuming you don’t.

You said that if they appeared to not be making money they are essentially lying about it or going off to work in a factory.

So you’re preventively arguing against any evidence to the contrary of the poor artist. As for the factory part, my brother in Christ, that’s what most artists have to do. They work part time or full time jobs, sometimes multiple jobs, to supplement their income.

As for your definition of artbro, that’s a myopic sliver of the art world as a whole, and I am dismissing your aren’t to limit the conversation to just those people, because the topic is about generative ai which affects the WHOLE art community. Amateurs to full on professionals. In every branch of the arts.

I guess this is where the miscommunication has been happening, since I’m talking about artists as a whole and you’re only talking about those which have gotten jobs in specific industries.

So I apologize, I thought you were coming from a more holistic, knowledgeable, informed, and experienced position than you were and shouldn’t have put that upon you.

It’s called sample bias. You’re only talking about the artists you’ve personally met, not the statistics of artists as a whole.

I also think you’ve got a bias in favor of tech bros because you see them as hard workers, and see artists as lazy elites.

And when I am talking about artists, I’m not talking about the small fraction that are in “high” arts with museums n shit.

It sounds to me that you you don’t really know a lot of artists and don’t really know a lot about this whole situation but still managed to form an opinion.

Some More News did a great video about this

Dude artists are some of the most broke people out there, to the point where the starving artist is a trope, what are you smoking?

I see creativity as an inherently human trait. I’ve known plenty of people who are smart and have very low creativity, and people who aren’t that bright who come up with very creative ideas. And people who are both and neither.

Making images and arts are only part of that creativity, there’s more to it than that.

Elaborate

People do make art and be creative still so I don’t know why you’re asking why they don’t.

And people still do it because making art is a thing humans do and like to do. People still sew even though they can just buy clothing.

Acting like there’s a barrier for entry to make art is a flat out delusion. Humans were making art on caves with chalk and dirt they found. You can make art with a stick. Acting like artists are rich elitists is the most ignorant and incorrect thing I’ve ever read on the Internet.

Everyone already can be creative and make images you moron

Could always use clear nail polish

These are pretty cool and I didn’t know about them! I’m pretty me to investing, do you just look up ESGs or something?

I’m in the sidelines and I didn’t know they existed and wanted to know more so I’m glad they posted it anyway

And the follow up question: why hasn’t he?

That makes a lot more sense

He wouldn’t be able to run again if he won this time.

Unless he’s gonna just ignore the laws and the supreme Court would just let him break laws because they said the president is above the law but that would be silly.

That’s also because of how they are printed.

Dude the marvel cinematic universe is we…was one of the biggest hits to smash into the box office. Batman is one of the most popular fictional characters ever written. People are still talking about adventure time, regular show, Avatar the last Airbender, and they ended how long ago? SpongeBob is still on the air. Simpsons has lasted longer than most anime.

What are you talking about, Western comics and animation being less popular?

You want to know a pretty unbiased way to judge this? Look at a Halloween store. Spirit even has stuff from the hawk tuah lady, so you know they work fast and go with what’s popular. You might see an old Naruto costume or two, maybe a Goku, and an endcap of what’s popular this year possibly still demon Slayer. But you’ll see a bunch of stuff for Batman, Superman, hell the joker and Harley Quinn gave their own sections each, and that’s just DC.

Corporate studies show that the most popular ice cream flavors are the flavors we’ve always made and new flavors are risky because we don’t know how popular they will be and so we only do the same flavors so we’re always right.

Same reason why you only get reboots and remakes, it’s a safer bet for investment.
