I finally played around with it with my young daughter a couple days ago for laughs. Now I actually see the point of it.
Yes it’s ugly as hell. But it’s the rapid prototyping process of art. You ask it to slap some shit together. Nope, that’s awful. That’s worse, that’s hilariously terrible! There is always something wrong.
It’s great for throwing ideas at the wall far faster than a real person could sketch them. Especially if that person can’t draw, like me. But the finished product is only ever worthy of a meme, not a gallery.
However an artist could easily use that process to brainstorm some ideas. It’s like psychedelics but the computer is taking them for you
Illustrator I can’t see going anywhere as AI still makes too many mistakes. At least technical illustrations, that is. For something like a paperback cover or low-end kids book AI already has that market covered.
Concept artist is probably toast for sure. Except in specific Industries like automotive where you need a real concept for development.

The computer is taking the drugs for us now too? Damn AI is coming for my job now.
Yeah for this reason I worry about illustrators and concept artists. Those used to be dream jobs, now I’m not so sure they’re even jobs anymore.

Realistically they haven’t been jobs for awhile. Read up on William Morris.
