I am curious about the impact of so-called “AI” on the labor market for illustrators, specifically, as I think that’s a really useful canary. I can’t find anything good, though – just buzzwordy, speculative noise from content farms or LinkedIn. Can anyone point me at solid, empirical work on this?
My tendency is to believe that markets for illustration, animation and freelance writing will collapse first, and very few people will care, but that folks will suddenly sit up and take notice when generative music starts to supplant top 40-style pop. I’d like to have a better handle on this, though.
