AI is here. Artists, game developers, writers, voice actors, video creators... All creative industries are about to be rattled up like never before. What does this mean for creatives? How can you prepare? What does the future hold?

The hype train has pulled into the station, and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is jumping onboard with its latest investment in generative AI chatbot company, Character.ai. For over $200 million, a16z is valuing the startup at $1 billion, which is par for the course considering their track record of overvaluing startups like the infamous Clubhouse.
