It seriously boggles my mind why this is even a trend right now.

because I no longer need to hire a concept artist for the general concept.

Why are people concerned about AI? /s

AI is obvious the future of applied arts but it will take it's time for people and industries to adjust. Not long ago CGI were not considered art at all.

@gapbetweenus @Ohi I guess concept artists don't need to eat any more.

Applied artist will need to adapt. I guess applied arts will move more towards editorial tasks. That's how technological advancement works - driving horse carriages was a job once. Like again CGI made a lot of classical applied jobs obsolete and people had to adapt or find a niche where their skill is still needed.

The bigger problem is who own AI and who profits from it. But that is a question we as society have to face and answer.
