Discussion Tired to read about AI nonsense

Sorry for the rant but I’m tired of all these messages from young people saying they quit freelancing or their graphic design studies because “AI can generate images.” So what?

You think a marketing or brand director is gonna fire their graphic designer and start creating visual campaigns themselves by prompting an AI? Then what, he sends his “ready to print” files (300dpi, with bleeds and all that shite) to the printer, who replies “Sorry, this isn’t even CMYK…”? Or probably the AI will generate the 100 banners in 10 formats the e-commerce team need for their affiliation campaign.

And now developers don’t even need to talk to UI designers anymore. They build faster with AI, so of course, they’ll just prompt the design themselves too.

Wait, never mind. Developers are gone too because AI took their jobs.

So I guess it’s just one CEO now, prompting all day.

Stop the nonsense. Maybe you're just looking for an excuse to give up or be lazy. And for those who are ready to get sh*t done, good for them, less competition.

I love where conversation is going on this post, I am actually one of those who made a post about AI and if I can get into graphic design now, although there were a lot of positive opinions there was also a lot of gloom and doom. I like this take

Sorry but this take is cope, companies always do anything that reduces the total cost, people who don't see it is because don't see how the job market really is

doesn't feel like that to me the op is giving out valid reasons as to why AI isn't going to replace all designers
