Artificial Intelligence killing the whole industry

Artist:
I got an access to one of the tool and the results I am seeing are mind blowing.
An artist who takes days to get the job done... is now happens in few clicks.

I am not in support of AI but the awesome results are making me bit lean towards it.

I am really concerned as this is very initial stage and is ready to kill jobs for photographer, concept artist, texture artist, digital painters, matte painters etc.

Huge dark clouds ahead.

Zero Talent:
Progress is not killing jobs.
It just moves them elsewhere, where scarce resources are utilized more efficiently.

At best it will add another creative asset class. Especially for artsy book cover content.

But it has legal and copyright issues.

Obviously all agencies will have their own ai tool at some point.

This will be for sure.
Soon there will be first tests, giving buyer otpion to create their own unique images instead of doing database search.
For tomatoes on white background will be the end, but for more complex images there will be always space for human work; also editorial will still have life.

There are a couple of big issues in AI:

It's not so easy for buyer to give an exact description; probably most of the buyer only search for a subject without exact idea of the way in which they want to see it. AI works well only if you give detailed descriptions.

About legal issue, I don't think an agency can use its own database to feed AI learning. Maybe some will offer a fee to authors. Once the feed issue will be solved, also legal issues about ownership of new images will be solved as well.

So there are some questionable points, but I'm sure that they will be managed and soon we'll see an option in search page, something like "describe and create your own original unique image"

"It's not so easy for buyer to give an exact description; probably most of the buyer only search for a subject without exact idea of the way in which they want to see it. "

Exactly. A lot of times people will look for something without knowing exactly what they want. They're looking for a Christmas background and after several pages, ah, that's what I want. But if you were to ask them to describe what they want before seeing anything... not so easy. Creatives don't just create the image, they come up with the idea... and for non-creative types, that is just as hard if not harder than creating the actual image.

Mind you, I'd have thought those who produce white background imagery would still make money. They'd sell them to the AI software companies who store them as reference and would either buy them exclusively or, as a per usage in an each AI created image.
