Who are the people who put together the ideas and concepts for this intro? Who created the prompts, decided if they were fitting, edited them afterwards etc. etc.? Are they not artists? Is AI generated imagery not just another tool in a visual artists toolkit?
They are, but change is scary. And many will likely lose their jobs - especially those who refuse to learn how to use it.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows for creatives currently, but it isn't all dystopia either. A regular schmuck could never produce the same work as a professional, even with AI.
Sure, you can pump out a bunch of stuff, and some of it might look really good, but in the end, if you want precision, you're going to want an artist.

I get that, and it's certainly tragic for any individual who is affected. But that's how the graphic design industry has always worked. Get with the new tech or get left behind. Few people are hand-painting signs any more.
Call me obtuse, but were people upset when the first movie poster was created digitally instead of hand-painted / hand-pasted?
