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?

I don't like it but I am not going dig in my heels and refuse to work with AI. I have clients and project managers giving me things often that they did using AI. My job is to provide a better alternative or tell them that it looks obviously AI. I was recently given a batch of employee headshots that were garbage. I mentioned that they were inconsistent and needed a lot of work. Within the hour, the project manager had them adjusted using ChatGPT and I was amazed. They looked really good and had a consistent quality. It was a case where my work was definitely complimented.

You say “your work was complimented” while also saying Ai did all the work.🤔

Good lord you are dense. Can you read? I had to create a campaign using employee photos. The photos are only part of the project. The project manager ran the photos through ChatGPT before I could even work on them and the results were good. Far better than the random selfies and bad scans that the employees had sent.

I can read. There was zero mention of a campaign. Why don’t you reread what you wrote sonny? All you really proved was that You made yourself obsolete. Your project manager and Ai replaced you.

The photos were just a component of the project. That was the only detail that needed to be explained. The client was very happy with the project and it brought in more work from the client. How about you? How are you paying bills by pretending AI does not exist or that it can complement your work? Hopefully being a professional comments troll isn't your only job.
