It is funny to read your post as just now I received an email from a client who wants a series of illustrated promotional postcards for the major holidays for his client. There was a really forgettable sample attached of what another artist provided. So I had to ask why his client didn’t like the provided image. I had my own thoughts, but lest I go off down a rabbit hole… Apparently the client has hired two different artists for this project and both delivered nearly the same image - which he suspects was created with AI and little thought. So they’ve come to me who doesn’t use AI at all. These other artists lost the larger project because apparently they let AI do their work for them. AI imagery may someday be a tool in my toolbox but it is only a tool. It doesn’t truly have any creativity. It’s a mimic. A skilled copyist. But it’s in the artist’s time spent thinking and experimenting where we find our value to others.

This is an important perspective! And would you share here what AI tools you use and for what?
