My coworker called AI art 'just a tool' and it made me think about my friend who's a painter
He said it's like a new kind of paintbrush over coffee yesterday, but my friend in Austin who sells her watercolors online told me her sales have dropped by almost half since last year because clients just ask for 'something like this' from an AI generator instead.

Your friend's sales drop is rough, but maybe it's just a market shift, not the end of her career.

My local bakery's custom cake orders are down too.

That's a real shame to hear, it seems like a lot of small spots are feeling the pinch lately. Makes you wonder if people are just cutting back on special treats to save money. Really hope both places can pull through, local bakeries are the best. Tough times for sure.
