lol, former animator/illustrator. It's a race to the bottom. The jobs looking for quality won't be replaced, but the entry-level jobs are changing. Where in the 80s they used to develop skillsets that you could build on, working towards feature work, increasingly they are optimized for quantity. The skills are not necessarily transferrable. Look at 3D modelers. There used to be several more environment artists that have been replaced with 3D scanners in videogames. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just a different skillset. It reduces the unit cost. I think entry level illustration jobs are at a higher risk. I've done plenty of album covers, promotional posters early in my career on a shoestring budget. They don't care if it's interesting - they want something cheap that gets the job done. Storyboard artists have a very different skillset. You need to communicate an idea as a cohesive sequence of images. Dall-E isn't designed for this, it's designed for standalone images. If you're investing in storyboard artists to begin with, you care about this visual communication, otherwise it's much cheaper to just yolo with a camera and and hand it off to post.
