What's the future of AI for artists and photographers trying to grow their businesses?

The future of AI for the next two years isn’t about any single model like ChatGPT, Claude, or others - it’s about individual recipes and use cases that work specifically for creative businesses. It’s less about the underlying technology and more about practical applications you can use right now to improve your business immediately. Think of it as learning cooking recipes rather than understanding food chemistry. The AI tools that will win are those that understand the nuances of creative businesses and offer specific, actionable recipes that artists can execute today to get results. The focus should be on what you can ship and implement immediately, not on keeping up with every new AI model that launches.
