Why Dall-E will not steal my job as an illustrator
<p>I am a professional illustrator and storyboard artist since 10 years. I work mainly for advertising, and a little bit for cinema. When I started to read all those articles about Dall-E and Midjourney, saying that AI will steal my job as an illustrator, I was very scared. Then I became more skeptical when I understood how it worked.

I just wanted to see if I could get something similar with Dall-E. The results are better than I expected, but really far from being useful for my client. Here a a few of the results I got with different descriptions:</p>
