I think AI displacing graphics illustrators is a tragedy.
It's not that I love ad illustrations, but it's often a source of income for artists who want to be doing something more meaningful with their artwork. And even if I don't care for the ads themselves, for the artists it's also a form of training.
It’s ok those illustrators can upskill to being devs. I heard it’s a very easy field now thanks to AI.
