🚨 **AI IS TAKING OVER GRAPHIC DESIGNER JOBS—OR IS IT?** 💻✨
🌍 Imagine this: A designer working on a $10k campaign gets an AI-generated logo that looks JUST LIKE THE ONE THEY WANTED. Then, they spend hours perfecting tiny details only to realize the client won’t even notice the difference. 😢…..
🤔 **”It forces both designers and clients to rethink the value of designers.”** ✨
📍 **Chinese graphic artists are feeling the heat as AI takes center stage in the creative world.** 🗺️🎨
💡 **These tools like DALL-E can create fake photos for websites or social media, helping clients with limited budgets. But now they’re also seeing how much their work is being copied and diluted.** 🕹️
💔 **”I think it’d be easier to replace me if I didn’t embrace AI.”** — graphic designer at a Chinese tech company.
👩🎨 **For years, designers have been relying on AI to crib aesthetics from competitors or social media. Now they’re realizing just how much of the creative process AI can handle.**
❌ **”AI image generators are less useful because they don’t produce anything particularly unique.”** — Erbing, a graphic designer in Beijing.
🔍 **”Each project faces different problems, and designers are there to solve specific problems, not to create identical visuals.”** 🧠
🎨 **”Sometimes, the process of thinking through a project takes longer than actually creating the visuals.”**
💡 **These designers aren’t happy. They joke about using AI image generators like gacha machines—spending time trying to get a good result only to end up with dozens or even hundreds of poor ones.**
❌ **”Personally, I see [AI image generators] as more of a toy than a tool.”** — Erbing

🔍 **The future of graphic design? It’s not looking good for humans. AI is ruining the creative process and making designers question their value.**
💔 **But wait—designers are hopeful! They’re waiting for AI to become more useful, but clients’ expectations have changed. Now they think AI can halve costs while delivering work faster.** 🛡️
//// **But this perception? It’s not real. Designers spend most of their time creating something unique and meaningful—something that can’t be replicated by an AI.**
👉 **”There is now a significant misperception about the workload of designers.”** — graphic designer at a Beijing-based company.
///// **So, what do you think? Are graphic artists doomed to fade into obscurity, or will they find a way to thrive in this new digital landscape?”**
