Streamer Asmongold posits that artists may need to explore fresh employment opportunities due to the resurgence of AI art, fueled by the Chat GPT-inspired Studio Ghibli craze.

Artificial Intelligence and external resources have consistently contributed to content creation, whether it’s shaping game levels or enhancing visual elements in movies and TV shows that you enjoy.

In contemporary times, the growing adoption of AI across various platforms has sparked much debate. Notably, in the realm of gaming, the public often criticizes developers for not innovating enough with their latest offerings – frequently focusing on repetitive elements such as new weapon or character designs.

The trend of AI-related content has expanded beyond its original platforms as well, making its way onto popular social media outlets such as TikTok, Snapchat, and X. For instance, the Studio Ghibli art trend is currently gaining traction on these sites.
