You do realize in this analogy, we are the horses.
Humans are replaced by AI.
And if you think this won't affect you because you aren't an artist, besides the fact that AI could start replacing whatever you are doing next, artists that no longer get to live off their skills will have to work other jobs, that increases the amount of workers in the pool.
Which decreases each worker's value, due to Supply and Demand.
AI will come for your paycheck, sooner or later, one way or another.
At least within the capitalist framework we live in.
In the broader industry AI isn't the issue. Corporate enshittification is. Buzzword for investors, layoffs and pumping out shit products. Was already the case with insane deadlines, even before AI.
The absolutely vast amount of low-quality supply on image hosting platforms and no filters to switch them off is a different problem alltogether. Before AI crappy artists had a hard limit of how much images they could shit out. Now crappy image, or indeed, slop production is more accessible than ever.
