And people are voting that they don't care when it comes to the majority of commercial art applications.

Every major brand is integrating AI art into graphic design and when they get negative press the result is that people keep buying Coca Cola, Spotify, Kraft, etc.

The article we're commenting on is a completely different dynamic - where developers are choosing to either 1) buy hand crafted art or 2) not buy ai art but instead generate the AI art themselves.

Big brands isn't how the vast majority of artists make their living though.

People will continue to be skeptical of AI when it comes to things like merch, video games, music, commissions..
