I don't disagree. But the market might not care about "real art." The images feel and look like art. That may be enough for most people in most use cases. Also consider that a human is still involved - telling DALL-E what to depict. If I work with DALL-E to generate 1,000 images and then curate 5 of them as my "art" am I an artist? …

Also consider that a human is still involved - telling DALL-E what to depict. If I work with DALL-E to generate 1,000 images and then curate 5 of them as my "art" am I an artist? Hard to say no. DALL-E may become something like a new medium or, at least, a way to "sketch" 1,000X faster.
For me, the fact that DALL-E is Artificial Intelligence says it all. It's artificial. The reason I didn't go into photography when I began art [2019] was because I figured that if I wanted to depict quality art - realistic or not - photography could do it a zillion times quicker & cheaper & easier etc etc. - apps... And anyone could do it. But I guess that's also almost an argument for slowness with art. I also think that if you paint etc only for the market, you're in the wrong game. Art is tooo subjective to be a market issue. hmm lol I personally love the fact that art is so nonpressurized [a personality issue of mine], though it CAN lead to a build up of work around the home/studio etc.
I have seen the software which can create amazing pictures - copies of photos in the painting style of any painter - Monet, Rembrandt, etc etc [I'm not even sure where DALL-E comes in here..I'm obv. non-techy]. All an artist can do in these times is to express themselves - there are tooo many people on the planet now to be original, & software is also too great to be original. L
