@eniko the main gist was that as an illustrator, animator, etc. you shouldn't give the client what they asked for. Instead it was important to give your interpretation of what the customer expected/needed.
A mouse was a good example. Don't draw a realistic mouse. Draw an *impression* of a mouse that conveys the client's needs. Scary shape if for an exterminator, cute if for a children's book. And for a commercial...? 50's housewife scared of nothing.
AI just doesn't get the artist's eye.
