The phenomenon of convergence has long become the norm, and the term text in the media includes not only the verbal component, but also photos, videos, audio, graphics - that is, it represents a creolized text. One of the challenges of our time has become artificial intelligence. Many of its potential capabilities (video or audio generation) are at the beginning of their development at the time of writing this article. However, illustration generation is no longer just worth paying attention to, but is becoming a significant competitor for photographers, designers, and artists. The aim is to demonstrate this process using the example of the most flexible part of the professional journalistic community - freelance journalists, as it is shown in the article that they are often the first to introduce innovations into their activities. Within the framework of the research, several surveys were conducted involving 281 respondents and a comparative analysis of the situation in full-time and freelance journalism was carried out. Although the number of journalists who have completely replaced photo banks with neural network illustration generation may seem insignificant (3 and 8%, respectively), the general dynamics of this process is shown, which, ultimately, is unlikely to lead to a complete replacement of creative professions by artificial intelligence, but, quite possibly, will only leave the best of its representatives.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Технологии стремительно трансформируют сферу журналистики. Феномен конвергенции давно стал нормой, а термин «текст» в медиа включает в себя не только вербальный компонент, но и многое другое: фото, видео, аудио, графику. Одним из вызовов современности стал искусственный интеллект. Многие его потенциальные возможности (генерация видео или аудио) на момент написания настоящей работы находятся на первом этапе своего развития. Однако генерация иллюстраций уже не только заслуживает внимания, но и становится значимым конкурентом для фотографов, дизайнеров и художников. Цель - показать этот процесс на примере наиболее гибкой части профессионального журналистского сообщества - медиафрилансеров, поскольку в свою деятельность они зачастую первыми внедряют новинки. В рамках исследования проведено несколько опросов с участием 281 респондента, осуществлен сравнительный анализ ситуации в штатной и внештатной журналистике. Несмотря на то что число журналистов, полностью заменивших фотобанки на генерацию иллюстраций в нейросетях, может показаться незначительным (3 и 8% соответственно), проявляется общая динамика этого процесса, который, в итоге, вряд ли приведет к полной замене творческих профессий, но, вполне возможно, оставит только лучших их представителей.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>freelance</kwd><kwd>media freelance</kwd><kwd>freelancer</kwd><kwd>media freelancer</kwd><kwd>freelance journalist</kwd><kwd>freelance journalism</kwd><kwd>photo bank</kwd><kwd>neural network</kwd><kwd>artificial intelligence</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>медиафриланс</kwd><kwd>журналист-фрилансер</kwd><kwd>внештатный журналист</kwd><kwd>внештатная журналистика</kwd><kwd>фотобанк</kwd><kwd>нейросеть</kwd><kwd>искусственный интеллект</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Alkamel, M.A.A., &amp; Alwagieh, N.A.S.
