A human based research on the future of the creative profession

The data we present on the website is based on the opinions of experts that we have collected in-house and among the design community, they should not be considered empirical data (we don't have a time machine :).
We do however strongly believe that all design professions are here to stay! This is an exciting time of change, we just need to pay attention, stay curious, and as always: keep learning and evolving - together.

ChatGPT | PROMPT: "WILL AI TAKE THE ILLUSTRATOR PROFESSION?"

"No, AI will not replace the illustration profession but it will change it dramatically. The algorithm is able to mimic certain styles based on existing dataset. It can not create something completely new. Being original will be the leading quality for futur illustrators. AI will provide fantastic tools for illustrators' work process, just as photoshop did. Various platforms are proposing synthetic images, using illustrators' work, trained as a data set for the algorithm, without compensation or credit. That is simply unfair and unjust. We should be able to find an ethical way to integrate AI into the visual storytelling mediums without destroying the creators responsible for its richness."

AI will not completely take over the illustrator profession, but it will likely transform it by automating certain tasks, such as generating basic designs, producing variations, and enhancing existing artwork. Illustrators will still play a vital role in creating high-quality, customized, and unique artwork that meets the client's specific needs and captures the intended message.
