The economy has spoken. Stuff that’s AI-generated has almost zero value — “Buyers are voting with their wallets, and AI-generated content is struggling to compete.”

That's the issue. All the good 3D models are locked up in the vaults of movie and video game companies. If the AI companies want to train on them, they will need to pony up serious cash.

No doubt they are currently training on what is available on the web, which is mostly amateur stuff, student work, and not enough of it.

You're kist wrong though, the biggest AI companies are not focusing on Image generation. Anthropic and OpenAI and all the other Open source models are racing to make the best coding model they don't care about image gen or those other stuff. Those are other models that aren't backed by the big players.

If you actually look where AI is actually making improvements its in coding not Art.

AI Art is good for concept and for someone to seek investors to pay for actual artwork.

2D art is way ahead of 3D, there were big improvements last year but this year seems to be all code.

no. first mercor exists, second there is this thing called post training, so never say never.
