Man, I hear you! It’s wild how far AI has come since 2020. If ChatGPT’s spitting out high-quality banners for free, it’s tempting to just lean into that and skip the human designers altogether. I’d say it depends on what you’re aiming for—AI’s great for quick, solid basics, but sometimes a human can add that unique flair or tweak things in ways AI might not nail yet, especially if you need something super specific or polished. Maybe try using the AI art as a base and see if the designer can elevate it for a lower cost? That way, you’re blending the best of both worlds without breaking the bank.
