Where do you think the AI image model gets the data for what artist's impressions of astronomic phenomena should look like? From all the artists who painted these in the past.

Including the ones that did it for self expression for free instead of an inaccurate visualization at the top of every space related article

Just like they can do after that niche job goes poof

Next time you’re confused about why people seem to hate “techbros”, remember that this is the reason.

Why is that?

because of the image’s inaccuracy, masqueraded as something one of our telescopes could visualize, but instead is a contrived make-work programme

Yet it will be replaced with another job to generate even less accurate images.

It reminds me of a hilarious article Josh barrow wrote about the SV bank run. He uses AI article art for a bank run, which ended up as 6 fingered joggers along the bank of a river.

using 2 year old image models and prompting strategies?

they can all do accurate hands now

and what OpenAI’s working on understands physics

I think this undermines the point you were aiming for
