AI Is Reshaping Creative Jobs
A recent study from Harvard Business Review tackled a pressing question: What impact is generative AI having on the creative labor market?
The findings might not sit well with many.
Analyzing data from a leading freelance platform (the name wasn’t disclosed), the study compared job postings before and after the launch of popular image-generation tools like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E 2.
The results are striking: within a year of these tools entering the scene, demand for graphic design and 3D modeling freelancers dropped by 17.01%.
The prophecy appears to be unfolding:
AI won’t take your job, a person using AI will.
There is a new trend: AI Full-Stack Platforms
A significant trend is emerging in the AI landscape: full-stack platforms that consolidate a comprehensive suite of tools in one place. These platforms give users seamless access to top-tier AI tools for art and video creation, eliminating the need to switch between multiple services.
Freepik pioneered this movement by offering Flux alongside its own AI art model, Mystic. They’ve bought Magnific, regarded as the best Upscaler on the market, and released Tunes, with AI video tools soon to follow.
Krea provides Flux and leading AI video tools like Hailuo, Kling, Runway, and Luma.
Flora integrates Runway, Luma, Hailuo, and Kling.
Based Labs combines Flux, Stable Diffusion, and Recraft for AI art with Kling, Runway, and Luma for video.
Why this is important
This consolidation allows platforms to focus on enhancing user workflows, enabling creators to produce high-quality work faster and more efficiently. By offering a one-stop solution, these full-stack platforms are meeting the growing demand for seamless AI integration in creative fields, setting a new standard for accessibility and productivity.
Transform Adobe Stock images with Firefly AI
Adobe Stock’s new features, powered by Firefly AI, allow creators to find and customize content like never before. With tools to swap backgrounds, remove elements, expand frames, match styles, and replicate compositions, users can tailor stock images to their specific needs. Even better, all changes can be previewed before making a purchase, ensuring the final product is exactly what you envision.
Why this is important
These advanced features benefit both content creators and platform users by enhancing flexibility and creativity. Creators can produce more dynamic assets for Adobe Stock, while users gain access to a broader range of customizable options, streamlining their workflow and boosting productivity.
