AI Keeps Rising
How it changes a designers approach
AI continues to surge and make appearances everywhere we look. Especially in the design field.
The days where we manually design everything are gone. If you write a good prompt it can now do it for you. This is quickly impacting designers workflow.
What if I told you that this doesn’t have to be a bad thing?
Like many, I thought this was a doom and gloom issue from the very beginning. Now I see it with a new set of eyes. How can I use AI to boost my workflow without me giving up the joy of creating what I want?
That’s the question that began to shift my perspective. I don’t want AI to do my essential tasks. Let me think, write, and design for myself.
Maybe AI can be limited to the repetitive stuff. I’m seeing designers online make some really cool things like add-ons to present work they’ve already made.
AI will only do what you allow it to.
In moderation I believe it’ll have a more favorable impact leaving us the necessary room to keep growing and exploring as creative people.
The truth is AI seems here to stay and the landscape has already changed and will keep changing. Future designers growing up on this will push and evolve it in ways we haven’t yet seen.
I’d like to think I can keep an open (but cautious) mind and adapt to the shifting grounds beneath my feet. This means finding ways to use artificial intelligence in a manner that will help me grow without stunting my ability to think, design and solve problems for myself.
