Creative director and illustrator Wagner Loud, 33, says he has heard the same thing from former co-workers in São Paulo. In some companies, he says, illustration sectors have already been closed or reduced to a minimum.
"Those who used to sit down and think about art, with new ideas, now sit down and put keywords in the system to generate a new design. That's sad", comments Wagner.
The alarming situation has led to the creation of groups of artists who discuss the new scenario and propose finding solutions through proposed laws.
Singer and songwriter Marisa Monte is one of those who has used her voice to give visibility to the cause of artists, especially musicians.
She participated in a session in the Senate committee that discusses the bill that regulates artificial intelligence in Brazil, PL 2338.
