The artists - or any other workers impacted by AI - will not be able to resist the tidal wave of shittiness, for one simple reason: the corporate world wants AI very badly, precisely to get rid of expensive artists and workers. It doesn’t matter to them whether AI is good or bad provided it lets them replace their expensive human workforce.

Unfortunately, in today’s dystopian capitalist world, when companies want something, everybody must bow to their wishes and there’s nothing anybody can do to stop them. It’s sad but it’s the truth.
