“Won’t hire” is a bit much.
But that said, I think it’s good advice for artists to have some work in progress (sketch->blocking->final) in portfolios in the future. As coherent stages of progress are certainly harder to fake with AI.
An Art Director I spoke to 3 weeks ago said he wouldn't hire a Concept Artist with a portfolio posted online after 2020.
Paraphrased: "How can you judge someone's creativity, problem-solving, or critical thinking when you can fake it?"
Anyone else feel conflicted?

Lots of uses for getting a nice final image of a thought users describe with text. Plenty of customers and use cases for that kind of work. So plenty of reasons to develop it.
Few use cases for fake WIP, so not a lot of reason to develop an AI that can do it well.
@wkerslake
Programmers have always had this problem. A "portfolio" isn't really a thing, which is why we have problem-solving tests (and cue endless arguments about what sort of tests those should be of course).
