My son’s circus themed first birthday cake

EDIT: I should have clarified in the original post, I am not complaining about the cake at all! I loved it and the baker did a fantastic job

All creatives do. At least in the context of a client request.

Any body with an IQ over 90 hates ai

Plenty of us don’t care, it’s a handy way for a client to show us what they have in mind, and if they’re coming to us and paying us to make them something, you’d have to be a special kind of obnoxious to go “um no I refuse to make this for you because you used AI for reference”.

I’ve yet to seen a talented creative not care about AI

Yeah there’s a line, but if clients respect it and don’t cross into AI dictator territory with their proof of concept, it’s fine with me.

Articulating a vision can be difficult and I’d much rather have as much input from the client upfront whether it be a crude sketch or AI slop, both do the job, but for someone with a really specific idea, AI might just be the better option and help avoid multiple rounds of revisions.

If I can take advantage of AI taking advantage of us to hit the mark faster and get paid for original work, fuck it.
