Impact on livelihoods: A quarter of illustrators (26%) and more than a third of translators (36%) have lost their jobs due to generative AI.
-
More than one-third of illustrators (37%) and more than one-quarter of translators (43%) said their work income has declined due to generative AI.
Concerns about future income: Nearly two novelists (65%) and more than half of non-fiction writers (57%) believe that generative AI will have a negative impact on their future income from creative work, with a higher proportion of translators (77%) and illustrators (78%).
