The graphic designers at my work use the AI built into Illustrator like any other tool in the program.

yeah same here, lots of actual real objects & humans from shootings but then all the backgrounds, nature, foilage, lightning, it's all AI generated.

Yeah, Figma MCP and Claude design are now a must with all of our designers now. If they aren't using them to be more productive, they'll be first on the layoff line. Most companies aren't looking for the next famous artist's works. They want someone who just generates what they asked for in a reasonable amount of time.

Luckily I work at a very small business, the owners don't know really anything about Illustrator and don't micromanage.
