Idk about artists, but programmers you're gonna hire in 2026 are almost all gonna Use AI. Only programmers I know that don't use AI are millennial indie developers or interns at corpos who actually wanna learn stuff.
I myself was against AI, but this is what I saw with my own eyes. If it's a corporation, it's 99℅ using generative AI for coding. Still am, but this is the reality.
