Turns out a lot of folks in graphic design are still very upset that AI image generation is a thing.

Major NGMI vibes.

gonna end up being relics trying to swim against the flow…

those finding applications for it in their work are gonna end up so far ahead

They'll need to pivot to being a great AI prompter if they want to stay relevant and use it as a tool instead of see it as an attack.

Precisely what I said.

People in the horse industry were mad about cars too.

Learn to make glue boys

No, developers though… 🥶

Same vibe as the actors and writers protesting AI

AI is not going away. We have to learn to embrace it and adapt. If your job is threatened, become an expert at the thing that is taking your job.

Meh. Seems more likely they are upset because the mega-corporations controlling the AI trained it using their art, using deception.

Which they will now sell back to them.

But this is the Silicon Valley millennial business model... "Give us all your data, and in return you get nothing. We are the experts, shut up."

Subsequently, the people who defend it, are often those experts personal rimjobbers, and you know they hodl shitcoins.

Every single artist has literally used prior art to learn and be inspired. AI democratize the skills, making everyone an artist.

Mass produced anything has replaced millions of jobs already, and that's not stopping. You can buy bread at the supermarket, or made old school at some "artisanal" bakery. It becomes a niche instead.

Maaaajor buggy whipper vibes

Although some mostly work from home and can now complete projects in 60 seconds.

Unfortunately, many in graphic design are still very dependent on monopolized software, IYKYK.
