I read another article on HN where an illustrator was saying that if the tools evolve to be more designed for artists, they could be great for cutting down time-consuming aspects of illustration. I’m not an illustrator but I’m guessing things like coloring and shading are areas where AI could make quick work.

We saw technological innovations like Disney’s Xerox machine technique that was used for 101 Dalmatians, and of course we saw computer animation basically decimate hand-drawn animation almost entirely. Even in areas where animation is hand drawn, it’s usually done so in a digital workflow.

The people out there that are scared of AI and refuse to use it are making a mistake. It’s here. It’s not going to get less capable, it’s going to keep getting more capable. I think the average person should try to be an early adopter to have an advantage in our new world.
