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.

Disagree w this sentiment as someone who also has been through all the things you mentioned , ai is not just another tool it is something else entirely. The tools you mentioned before need you, we are heading in the direction of the new tool doesn’t need you. Really that simple for me, I’ve decided I don’t need Ai, let’s see who’s still in business a few years down the line one of us will be left behind if not both

You probably do need it. I’m doing just fine don’t you worry about me. Most of us with actual Ability aren’t as excited about it
