That's kind of what I was betting on. I don't see it going away anytime soon, but I also think it's potential impact is being overblown.
With regards to AI image generators, I think people overestimate the importance of illustration skills to visual creatives. Namely, if you look at the top graphic designers, something you pick up on is that they aren't necessarily known for their top-tier illustration skills. Anyone can theoretically make a logo in the style of Paul Rand, yet curiously, hardly anyone ever does.
Even if the person in question is an illustrator, I think what fundamentally makes them valuable as an illustrator is that they know what to draw rather than how to draw.
It's sentiments like these that make me question the notion of certain careers getting disrupted by AI as opposed to simply improved by it.
