Tired to read about AI nonsense

[u/arnauddsj]

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.

Indeed. In the short to mid-term the only thing AI will effect is the Fiverr market - the people who have a £50 - £200 budget for a brand design. If that's who you envisage as your client base, it won't put enough food on the table or a roof over your head anyway.

And where do you think those freelancers will go? If that market goes away, competition will increase somewhere else.

If they were good enough, they wouldn’t be working on Fiverr. And TBH, anyone who supports the Fiverr business model isn’t a concern to me, they enabled the race to the bottom. They shall reap what they sow.
