Can AI replace artists? Will there still be jobs for professionally trained artists in the years ahead? Should you still pursue art as a career path?
I am joined by one of my favorite teachers and artists Adam Duff (who also happens to be one of the most reassuring art voices on KZbin) to dig into these incredibly difficult questions.
While AI art has and will continue to cause ripples, I don't think it will be the Artpocalypse that many are predicting. Join me and Adam to get our takes on where this is all heading and why artists need to just keep being artists.

Steven also gathered some incredibly useful resources on the topic and how we can organize against it which I will definitely be doing (posted below with his permission). Older artists like me have an obligation to do everything we can to help younger artists have the same opportunities - while I don't know how exactly how that fight will take shape, I will definitely be in it.
