        We going to do an article every time someone uses a loom to make clothing?

        The issue is that art currently relies on the whims of people who control the money.

        We need a new socioeconomic system with a more fair wealth distribution, so common people can afford choose to support artists that they want to support.

        Adobe has added AI tools to Photoshop.

        Just because someone used AI to initially generate a background or some objects does not mean that the entire image was created without an artist.

        The artist can always come in and finish off the image, and there are additional tools that let you control characters/poses for the initial AI Generation.

        So, this is the direction we’re headed. Why is it news when a company does it?

    Tbh, if I worked as a webpage artist in Pokemon GO I think I’d do the same. It comes with the ethos of the company.
