As a hobbyist artist my main concern is less the automation will replace artist as much as that 99% of that automation will come from the 3 companies with deep enough coffers to train and run the most complex AIs, and 2 of those companies will be FAANGs. Ultimately it will be a future where instead of paying an artist X amount for decent art with the artist getting a ~7% margin, it will be paying 90% of X to a monopolistic tech company for almost decent art with the company's CEO getting a 70% margin

The Stable Diffusion models are very small though. You can probably train one with relatively low investment, e.g. 4x3090 under $20k.
