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.

You need to take the posts on this subreddit with a pinch of salt. All that this sub has now become is a bunch of AI techbros who think design is as easy as drawing a sketch and feeding it to AI or students who have never worked a day in their life as a professional. I would say ignore and focus on your work. I am working w an ad agency that has access to the best of AI tools and AI generated slop isn't something we can show on our decks to the client, let alone then being finalised creatives.

totally, I should not react but I think it's too bad that some genuine people would read those and get discouraged thinking it's the end of design. 😥
