I remember when I finally heard enough times from existing clients in the late 1990s, “Can you do websites?”
I did *not* want to do websites. But more and more of my graphics clients started asking for them, and I turned them down because I didn’t know jack shit about making websites - nor did I want to.
But, nope, the Internet wasn’t gonna let me stay where I was.
It’s the same with AI today. Lots of artists I know are fighting against it. I get it. But it’s not going away and it’s gonna run your ass over just like web sites was running my ass over back in the day.
