With $600 billion in funding, AI is on a massive growth path, but is it actually replacing designers? While tools like Adobe Firefly have introduced automation, they mainly benefit certain niches and often leave illustrators and other creatives concerned. Here’s a reality check:
1. AI Has Limits: AI still struggles to produce quality, diverse designs across industries. It lacks the nuanced data and legal freedom needed for complex tasks.
2. Opportunity, Not Replacement: Current AI tools can speed up repetitive tasks but aren’t close to fully replacing skilled designers.
3. Brand Perception Matters: Companies risk coming off as "cheap" if they overly rely on AI, which could harm customer trust.
This correction in the market could be a reminder: designers shouldn’t fear AI but rather adapt and enhance their skillsets.
Stay creative, stay relevant, and remember the future of design is still human.
