Will AI replace artists? On one hand, the answer to whether AI will replace artists is no.
Generative AI is a powerful tool that can expand the possibilities of art making and will still require the guiding hand of a human artist. As with any new technology, some creative processes will become both easier and less time-consuming with AI.
If you have a company with a graphics department of 10 artists and a new AI comes along that allows the needs of the company to be met with only 1 artist in that department those 9 other artists are going to get fired.
This is the same ‘cars won’t replace horses’ argument.
