It’s ridiculous how much development in the AI space there has been this year. I feel like every week, there’s a new function and utility being discovered and how disruptive it’ll be. Although it’ll take years to commercialized, it’s still an extreme pace I can barely keep up with

All of it seems aimed at putting artists out of work, though. When do we start aiming new AI and putting, say, maybe lobbyists or oil tycoons out of business?

I don’t think it’s entirely gonna be putting all artists, out of work, maybe just graphic designers specifically. It’d be more used as a tool, but up to the artists to make sure the overall theme of a piece is still portrayed as intended. Also, AI and technology could usher other forms of artwork such as VR 3D art, or ones that have yet to be discovered. But right now, AI seems like it’d replace really generic illustration which would be helpful for other artists such as writers but can’t afford graphic illustrators, however, how would it ever replace an artist’s original work, idea, character, setting? Automating one small aspect would only benefit the entire industry at the small sacrifice of some freelancers.

And what does your last sentence even mean or make sense? AI “replacing” a simple, mundane, small, and not even financially sustainable aspect of an industry does not equate to replacing complex resource driven industries.
