I'm not going to stand on my soapbox and say that AI will bring an end to all creativity as we know it. That sterile, unemotional thoughts will be the standard way everybody thinks. My POV is about how I'm currently using AI and how I see it being used in the future.

Currently, I use AI as an ideation tool. It helps me come up with numerous ideas and options but I still have the final say and can choose to use them, edit them or ignore them.

On the other hand, I don't use AI as an executor of work. As a graphic designer, I'll always create my own graphics and not leave the designing work to a computer to analyze, strategize and execute what I need to get completed. It could give me a rough idea to work off of or play around with but not a final idea. That's up to my mind, my creativity and my decision making skills that come from years of training and experience.

My "big picture" when it comes to AI, I'm still experimenting with it. Still kicking the tires and trying things out for myself.

From my perspective, working with and seeing finished products that AI creates doesn't make for a human experience. AI doesn't have feelings so it can't create and emote them through design they way a human would. It's just not possible.

Additionally, AI likes to use personas to determine what a person might say, might do or how they might think. That process can work SOME of the time, but AI won't be able to adapt or understand everyone, because a persona only covers a certain group of people and not everyone.

AI is a VERY helpful and useful tool, and I'm glad that I have access to it. What's your current take on AI?
