It's becoming commonplace for online news. For articles that do not have a specific "event" that photos are sourced from, they would normally either commission an artist to provide some sort of illustration of the concept or cobble together a Photoshop collage. Generative AI provides another alternative to those options and allows the news outlet to get very specific with what they're looking to depict.
And in turn, ever gradually are artists losing more jobs.
Like it or not, generative AI is already replacing jobs, and we as a society aren't ready for it, even though automation should be a good thing.
Jobs are bad. People should have income, not jobs. Labor should never be used to gatekeep income when labor is not actually needed.
