Investor Brianne Kimmel says cost is the number one barrier to AI adoption for creatives. She adds that while brand design is an early adopter of AI, incumbent tools like Photoshop remain a key part of daily workflows.
The takeaway: AI penetration in creative work is constrained less by model capability than by cost and workflow lock-in, and established professional tools won't be fully displaced anytime soon.
