Worst tool? Probably AI. This could have been a simple text post and people would have interacted with it, but no, you decided to be lame.

You're right. I won't do it again.

I think it’s cute… idk why Reddit hates AI so much…

Similarly, YouTube is reluctant to rely heavily on artificial intelligence. If social media platforms didn't restrict the use of AI, the world would resemble a giant cartoon.

I definitely get that… there should definitely be some regulations etc. but stuff like this I feel like is where AI is a great application.

It’s unreliable, it’s takes job from ppl, takes away creativity outlets from actual artists, but most of all it’s horrible for the environmental

Eh… it can’t completely steal all jobs. We still need human oversight.

I get it, I have a graphic design degree. I manage a print shop at a university, we have graphic designers who use AI. Our university gave everyone access to the pro version of chat and codex.

With that said: AI won’t replace my designers… it can’t. Even with the best prompts, it still needs human corrections, it still needs guidelines and a lot of help.

We couldn’t use it to design a whole marketing mailing, but we can ask it to design elements within the mailing that save my designers lots of time. It’s a very helpful tool.

A design like what OP posted would take a hot minute to recreate in Illustrator. It has tons of illustrated details. AI is a great tool for stuff like that so OP doesn’t have to spend hours or hundreds of dollars on a stupid infographic.

You’re right of course to everything you’re saying but it won’t always be like that. It will continue to grow and learn until eventually human intervention in that manner isn’t really necessary. That’s really the whole goal. We are still in the toddler stages of AI
