I think there will always be a need for human beings who can come up with original ideas. That will never be replaced. Fundamentally, all of these machine learning models are derivative. They combine things in interesting ways, depending on the prompts, but ultimately the output is derived from the training data... the inputs.

You make a fair point about commission artists being under pressure to a degree, but there will always be a need for people that can think outside the norm and combine ideas in unexpected ways. You've pretty much proven that with the concept of this post!

Then there's this technological singularity idea... perhaps we're seeing the long march toward that moment in time. Maybe it will be an incredibly short march. Maybe it won't ever be realised, because it's purely hypothetical and we're putting too much stock on sophisticated and impressive black-box statistical modelling. Maybe not! There's so many questions!

I love your idea of a bunny sitting drinking a glass of wine outside his log cabin though
