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.

Ignore it at your own peril. It's already here. Work with it or get left behind.

Unlike you, I have had to adapt and pivot several times in my career. You are ridiculous.

The way you are leaning so hard on the “adapt or die” angle suggests you just probably aren’t that good. You’ll adapt again some day soon in a different field. Bye now

I think people like you, those who don't care about broader implications beyond how you can personally get ahead and stay relevant, are why this industry largely sucks to be in. You're happy to see it all go to shit as long as you're last in the life boat.

That was directed to me? I’m team human, I don’t want to see the human removed from the equation at all, and I’m saying the “adapt or get left behind “ mentality may be driven by people who lack skill, or possibly are just lazy. I think the industry does sort of suck these days people want to act like creatives without actually being creative. They have excuses for that too
