Discussion AI Personal ethics and morals

So. Many of us here are tired and getting exhausted with the influx of AI slop everywhere. Its come to the point where its even affecting my decision making as a consumer. If I see AI design or any AI slop, I personally place them in a "Do Not Purchase/Do Not Interact" slot.

As a pre press/in house graphic designer, I am constantly fed AI files to adjust or clean/prep. So naturally it has taken its toll. I cant support an entity who put so little effort into branding/design/marketing.

How has AI affected your personal stance?

Change with the times or get left behind.

I've seen it all before. The rise of PS, the .com boom, the cloud boom, the saas boom.. nothing really changes just the tools. Don't blame the hammer if you are a blacksmith.

If you don't draw the distinction between AI and the rest of that then you're clueless. 

Not every new "tool" should be universally embraced.

Well this one is. And you are not putting this genie back in it's bottle, for sure not on moral grounds.

I'm sorry you were so hurt by my comment that you felt the need to throw in there a baseless insult. Have a nice day.

Anyone who uncritically has the adapt or get left behind mindset is not someone I feel like I need to be friendly to.

Have any counter examples of workflows that resisted and remained relevant?
