And the reality is never as good as the demo so there is that to consider.
I wonder if, in 1827, artists worried that the camera obscura was the beginning of the end of painting as an art form? I suppose some thought it would never amount to anything worthwhile. I'll ask my wife what she thinks about this current AI controversy... but later... right now she is busy working on a painting.

And what percentage of photographers would have become painters had cameras not been available?
Photography is a much more user friendly medium.
More food for thought.
"Experts say it’s hard to predict how much better AI will get. Major obstacles stand in the way of further development. These models are expensive to run and exact a staggering environmental toll. They confidently churn out wrong, nonsensical and sometimes biased answers, while creating lifelike images that could sow confusion."

Some painters used the camera obscura to make their paintings more accurate.
