Is AI The End Of Art? What I Expect In 2026

Is AI the end of art? 🤖🎨
With AI tools becoming more powerful every year, a lot of artists are asking a serious question: What does this mean for us in 2026?

In this video, I share my honest take on where AI and art are headed — not from fear or hype, but from the perspective of a working artist and vendor. I break down the three camps I see forming in the art world:

Artists who completely reject AI

Creators who go all-in on AI

And artists who use AI as a tool to support their creativity, not replace it

We talk about ethics, adaptation, creative tools, and why art has always evolved alongside technology — from traditional to digital, and now AI.

Whether you’re a painter, digital artist, vendor, or creative just trying to plan ahead, this video is about helping you understand what’s coming and how you might fit into it.
