How do you feel about the potential for AI to replace human jobs?
Artists are really scared of that… graphic designers. They feel like they’re all illustrators. They feel like they’re all gonna be out of jobs soon. ‘Is it gonna steal my job? Should I even bother with a career in art because everybody’s just using AI to generate images and things like that.
What ethical concerns do you think arise from the use of AI?
Honestly, the newest thing that I see now is AI showing up on google searches and it’s completely wrong. If AI is just giving you the information, all AI does is pull it from every source on the internet. So, if it’s grabbing from all the wrong sources, it’s not giving you the right information.
How do you envision the future of AI in the next decade?
With graphic design, we wouldn’t even have graphic designers in the first place if people just couldn’t understand how to layout shapes and colors and things. There’s always a need… even if graphic designers, in the future, are just essentially typing in commands and then their product is just… BOOM, popped out for them because it’s AI generated… I mean that’s still needed. You still need someone to do that.
