David: a very delightful tour d’horizon of what’s been happening in business tech for the past three decades!
You mentioned that you’re a Pratt alumnus. What’s your experience been talking with art school colleagues (Parsons, RISD, Pratt, et al.) who were illustrator and drawing majors? What’s happening to their employment prospects?
The one thing I HATE most of all about AI in the past 30 months is the flood hackneyed images that are easily generated and widely used whenever their creators find an opportunity.
Gosh, I know some design peers that went into other fields. My friend from Pratt worked at Fox for over 25 years, some ended up as execs and others even went the fine art route. Mixed bag across the board.
I think not unlike how GenZ pines for analog stuff from the 80s and 90s, non AI visuals are going to become more valuable over time
