ART SCHOOLS ARE TEARING THEMSELVES APART OVER AI AND NOBODY AGREES ON ANYTHING
Creative institutions worldwide are rewriting curricula to incorporate generative AI tools, forcing students and faculty into uncomfortable conversations about what art education even means anymore. The debate has split campuses between those who see AI as the next Photoshop and those who see it as the thing that killed the reason to learn Photoshop.
This is like watching a culinary school debate whether microwaves count as cooking, except the microwave can also write the menu, plate the dish, and file for a Michelin star. The students paying six figures to learn craft are reasonably upset that the industry goalposts moved mid-degree. Faculty are being asked to teach tools that didn't exist when they built their syllabi, which is genuinely hard. But pretending AI isn't reshaping creative jobs is the kind of optimism that doesn't survive contact with a hiring manager in 2026. Either you learn to work alongside it or you graduate into a market that already moved on without you.
