I didn’t say that it always requires more human labor! Stable diffusion, specifically, seems like it can really reduce the amount of human labor needed to generate art. It can’t eliminate it, but it can definitely turn art from a skill that requires 10,000 hours to master into a skill that maybe requires 10 hours. Industrial de-skilling, in other words.
But that’s the best case scenario. In many cases AI doesn’t help at all and just requires human workers to fix it as it constantly fucks up, and it doesn’t seem to get any better.
