I had similar experience with AI creation, though I used different platform. What can I say, this WOW effect was for a few days...After that I got tired to explain to it what I really want, the result was too poor (I am perfectionist), but most importantly I had 0 satisfaction in such creative process. I think this last factor for so many creative people will be crucial. We are not in this industry for serving our clients only, first of all we here because of us and creating new things. AI takes this pleasure/credit from us. Therefore, I don't play this games, its too boring.
Thanks, Lindsay. Absolutely fantastic article on a subject that impacts us all. Thanks for all your research!
In the 90s, I was in photography school, learning the hands-on techniques and tricks to taking and developing high-end photos. But, my instructors pointed out that everything we were learning there would soon be obsolete because of this new thing called Photoshop. Bubble burst. I didn't finish photography school because of that, but because of other life circumstances.
Years later, I found myself in the graphic design world. I've been using Adobe products since near the beginning and have seen the new tools constantly increase my productivity, Photoshop included. What would take me days now only takes minutes or even seconds. It didn't replace my work. It improved it.
But to your questions, is AI another tool to advance productivity, or will it make us obsolete? I believe it's a bit of both. This advancement is a very different creature than the other new products and upgrades.
Back to the photography aspect. With advanced phones in everyone's pockets, we all seem to be photographers today. Images people used to pay professionals for they now take themselves albeit, in an obviously reduced capacity. However, when people want high-quality, personalized photos, they still hire a photographer—weddings, family photos, and custom corporate and business photos. People unwilling or unable to pay photographers were the first clients to disappear. But a professional photographer is still needed when it comes to the personalized good stuff.
I believe our fate is similar. Clients who don't prioritize the value of originality and high quality will be the first to go. Frankly, they already have. Canva and the like are all they need. But people needing, valuing, and who can pay for personalized, original, and high-quality designs will still need a graphic designer—at least for now.
AI will have such far-reaching impacts that it won't just be graphic designers. It will impact the fabric of our reality, society, and humanity. Buckle up. Let's see where this ride takes us.
It's interesting and as an upcoming self-taught graphical designer, who is also not currently in a job... it's very freightening at the same time, as many more people will be able to do basic things & those who are already amazing graphical designers & artists, will use it to further themselves even more.
So while it's definitely amazing having AI on the side & as and option to elaborate things, it's very scary as well.
So interesting, Lindsey. I do more writing than art, although I create social media graphics for our promotional products company. Also mock-ups, so I’m basic. I’ve just discovered ChatGPT for my writing and social media prompts. Anyway, thanks for a detailed, informative article. You provide great information and advice. Thank you.
Well, years ago Timothy Leary was trying to figure out how to link the human brain directly to computers, and this is just another step in that direction. Nothing will replace hand made art, but nothing can stop evolution, just ask Duchamp. Learn and enjoy, and create with a new tool.
I am already using AI to racially improve the quality of my work as a Brand Developer, especially through ChatGPT, thanks to this article which made me follow the links and delve more deeply into the subject. Lindsay you write beautifully and have the ability to explain things so clearly and eloquently, captivating us with your knowledge, expertise and wisdom. Thanks for everything you do.
I have been working as a graphic designer for 5 months in a digital marketing agency and I mostly work on designing digital or social media ads, but due to emergence of AI tools for generating digital ads which are pretty amazing, it brings me to thinking that whether in the future will marketing agencies even need a graphic designer.
My questions are...
"Should I adapt the traditional learning process of watching tutorials?"
Happy to hear everyones thoughts on AI or anything else related to this topic, or your experience with it.

Well, Midjourney especially is just stolen Artstation, which is a giant copyright breach. Which goes against everything, you taught us.
And even Adobe didn't mind asking creators on Adobe Stock, if they want to be used and abused by their AI..

OR
"Should I learn the AI tools first?"
