I know a graphic designer that graduated in 2006 and still has $28k college debt. They pay almost $400/month, half goes to interest alone and they are out of work because of AI

It's going to be a challenge for a lot of folks. Virtually any image copyright free in an instant.

The detail in the AI models is quite interesting.

I still think the AI is sourcing Steam Punk reference material, more than actual steam mechanics, to make its "Best Guess" simulations?!?!
