    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.

    Damn… not sure how you work in an industry that requires good interpersonal skills with an attitude like this but you didn’t really listen to what I was sayimg at all. I am not defending AI or even claiming it can actually replace human graphic designers in any serious fashion longterm.

    Let me lay this out for you really simple, this is a class war, and vapid MBA majors who will always placed by the ruling class in charge of most graphic design jobs don’t give a flying fuck if AI is a scam, the whole point of being a business major is to scam people At the end of this when the AI hype bubble bursts yall aremt getting your jobs back, and even if you do those jobs will no longer be the good quality sustainable jobs they used to be because you will be seen as an expensive temporary stopgap to AI.

    It is hilarious given that you are a storyteller and artist by trade that at this late stage in the game you actually genuinely believe the truth actually matters here compared to the economic narratives set by the ruling class…and yeah you mighttt personally get lucky and be fine for the rest of your career but how cruel and naive too use your experience as a device to divorce your empathy from lesstalented/experienced graphic designers following in your footsteps.

    Stop being a coward and hiding behind the niche little square you have cut out of your industry to support yourself, stand up and actually defend the futures and quality of life of the countless younger versions of you getting ground to dust by the industry before it is too late and you handed away the future of your career to capitalists and foreclosed the decency of life in getting into your career.

    Like wake the fuck up please, this is catastrophic for graphic designers and it has nothing to do with whether AI works or not
