How AI is changing the outlook for illustrators - The Washington Post

Some creators of visual humor are feeling safer than other illustrators. The question at hand: Can computer technology create and "tell" a joke? Tjeerd Royaards, an Amsterdam-based editorial artist and editor in chief of the comics site Cartoon Movement, says the several dozen political cartoonists his site recently queried weren't especially concerned about AI. "I think most cartoonists don't feel threatened (yet), because AI is currently not able to produce satire," Royaards wrote last month on his site. He noted: "I expect there is some way to go before AI is able to match a skill and wit of a good cartoonist."
