so I'm paying someone on upwork to do some artworks for me - now here's the thing, the last time I used upwork was in ~2020.

Five years later, I am using the service again to get a designer to do some artworks for the play store. She's making decent work, but it costs be $50.

Now in comparison, the banner is not that great because when I look at the AI image generated for free by ChatGPT, which I did a week prior to hiring her, and (used as a reference guideline) I realise that yeah, maybe I don't need these designers anymore and the work quality of AI generation is actually, at a basic level really really good.

I got a really high quality banner artwork from GPT for free, so why pay humans anymore?
