This is the sort of subtle, almost invisible replacement of artists by AI that we've all been worried about. It starts with fewer and fewer calls and emails until the work is just gone entirely. No mass layoffs, no severance, no announcements, just the quiet death of illustration

@Rahll Fight for UBI instead of fighting against AI. Also, why would you ever care to illustrate for an inflight magazine? Something people only glance at when their phone is dead? Wouldn’t you prefer to do more meaningful art & not have to worry about monetizing your art to survive?
@Rahll Or they would have just used a stock photo subscription
@Rahll The future will be illuminated with AI imagery that people could have never justified paying artists to make. It’s going to be wonderful.
@Rahll That is how technology works. Portrait artists were replaced by cameras. Alarm clocks made knockermen a thing of the past. Instead of trying to hold back the inevitable, your best bet is to try and work out how to adapt to the change.
@Rahll Unless I'm mistaken, your position is that genAI is just stealing and doesn't generate anything "new". So by that logic the only jobs being lost are the jobs of artists who would steal/regurgitate something that has already been done.
