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.

Yeah, I don‘t understand it either. First of all, you don‘t own the copyrights of ai generated stuff. And AI won‘t give you a continuing coperate design. I think AI is good to give you a general Idead of how something can look, but if you want to have a tidy and unique design, you still need to hire a professional designer!

How many clients outside of Fortune 500 companies care about copyright though? Not to mention coke, Schechers, etc. have ALREADY used A.I. in national advertising!

Not to mention, every time I see “AI can’t do blank” all I think is just wait six months…

Listen I'm against AI illustration but we live in a world of disney remakes, marvel after marvel movie, and multiple sequels on the same tired old franchises because studios and producers don't want to take the financial risk of a new IP.. I don't think originality in the real world matters as much as it does in terms of 'internet OC' or whatever. If the worlds largest employers of creatives don't care, that means you can count on way less opportunities in the future.
