About LUVANE

Keeping it real in the age of Artificial Intelligence

Why do we need a cartoonist when Artificial Intelligence can generate illustrations and other graphic work?

If the thinking in the process of creating an illustration is largely done by AI, we have to wonder who is actually communicating. A human being, or a machine? We can choose to send out generic, ill-considered content, or share messages that are representative and crafted with care. If it’s up to LUVANE, we keep communication ­— and with it illustration — real.
