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’m glad that you wrote this cause I was feeling like I was the only one who felt the same. If anything, I think that the AI for graphic design is not advanced enough. They’re aren’t editable, masking is not perfect and changing colour scheme is still a headache.

The other departments in my company are now making use of AI and Canva for their materials for in-house. However, guess who they come crying to if they want their EDMs, posters, presentation slides to look more professional and polished for clients?

Look, If AI can think and make the right decision in doing the job you listed there......it means it's sentinet and it's not our jobs we should be worrying, but rather all of humanity should be worried. CEO or politicians even are useless at that point.
