> This means the market for many digital arts degrees is going to become glutted and salaries are going to crash like a rock.

That's the important part isn't it? Lots of other people will lose their jobs.

But no, let's talk more about what "real art" is or how art will exist in some form or another because you can't kill an idea.

I don’t understand what jobs people are talking about.

Making a living as an illustrator comes from a long stream of networking and brand building, that path is reserved to a crazy small minority and being talented and good at drawing is just the entry ticket to participate in the battle royale.

If you just need a nice illustration you can already catch any random guy on a drawing board and pay them nothing close to a living salary, and more like enough for two lattes at a starbucks. An AI plugin doesn’t seem to me to change much of that situation.


Downvoted because the sarcastic bent of the comment makes its actual intended meaning somewhat unclear.
