• High-end businesses that need high-quality design would never use output from an “AI”.

    If they do, that means they don’t take design seriously, and are fine with “not a very good graphics designer”. So my point stands, IMO.

      The diploma mill MBAs that run the place don’t know (or care) what good design is.

      They only know how to look at business costs as “cutting into our profit”.

      • Yeah, not a high-end business.

        These days they’re aware that good marketing & design = $$$.

        I could not care less what low-end suits decide, they’re not what brings designers money.

        More “AI” garbage means that good designs will have an easier time crystalising.

          • Nah, I’ve just been in the industry long enough to not be scared of competition. Quality is something that a lot of well-paying businesses very much appreciate.

            A crappy visual generator is on-par with an intern, at best.

            The people who are startled the most, probably have never actually done design large-scale.

            • Classic “fuck you got mine” take from someone who has experienced no difficulty in decades with a field. If you’re ignoring the mass layoffs happening across multiple fields right now, ESPECIALLY in well-performing companies, I guess it looks like AI is not having much of an effect. Like if you consciously decide to not look at any business news at all this take could make sense.

              • My dude, I’m literally replying to a person who said “rip graphics designers”. Of course I’m talking about my on field.

                BTW, I have no problem with “fuck around and find out”. Fuck those companies layinf off people because of LLMs. I’ll watch them go down with a grin on my face and balls in my hand.

                • Not only are you a fool, you spit in the face of people trying to begin careers in your field because you are so naively confident that this massive change in the labor market conditions of your industry won’t affect you or other graphic designers negatively.

                  Please retire, change careers or at least keep your mouth shut and actually listen to less experienced people in your industry. Stop acting like a boomer, it is just embarrassing yourself and publicly committing your online identity to words that will age so terribly it will make your future self’s head spin.

                  • You are fucking high on your own farts. Learn to generate garbage images if you’re so scared, I don’t give a shit.

                    I know how it works, since we’re always hiring and looking for new talent.

                    I really don’t care what a passer-by-AI-is-the-future rando thinks about me.

                    I’m talking from a perspective of reality. What you “predict” or “feel” or imagine the industry is or going to be, doesn’t really interest me much.
