Today, making a realistic or fictional image is easier than ever. With AI tools like DALL-E 3, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion, you don¡¯t need any special skills or a big budget to create high-quality digital art. That¡¯s both good and bad—it sparks creativity, but it also makes spreading misinformation easier.
Let's talk about cost differences.
Hire a human artist? That'll cost you about $10 an hour.
The US minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.
Create hundreds of images with MidJourney? About $4 an hour.
Run Stable Diffusion on RTX 4090? Even cheaper - just $0.69 per hour.
So basically, AI can produce hundreds of artworks for a tiny fraction of what it costs to hire a real artist. That's great for efficiency, but it also raises some big ethical questions - like fair pay for artists, the rise of deepfakes, and IP concerns.
As AI advances, we need to think about how we use it responsibly.
