How I See AI / How The World Sees AI

I made this meem humorously but also with GREAT compassion for the challenges and pains that this transition causes. My OWN business, work and entire livelihood and financial safety has been disrupted by technology MULTIPLE times over the span of my 25 years in business, and each time I have made the decision to thrive despite it, without any evidence that that would or could be the case, and that has ended up being exactly the case. I thrived despite all changes, in fact, I even thrived even more.

The introduction of “one click websites”, “pre-made graphics”, boxed logos, you name it, all of that stuff was not on the scene when I began 25 years ago. And before *I* even came on the scene people did graphics and design by HAND literally cutting and pasting and scanning and such. Then computers came along and made everything way easier, and it disrupted a lot of fields. Then “done for you branding and websites” and boxed graphics, but those who stayed with their craft and chose to move WITH the evolution instead of fight it, or simply value themselves the same or MORE despite this shift, simply shifted their value and livelihood into its next iteration.

The computer became their tool and they were still the designer. Same with the ‘one click done for you stuff’ — that just also became their newest tool and they were STILL the designer…
