A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Did you land your gigs at high end companies right out of uni?
No, I ate shit the first few years after uni, making coffee and changing texts on visuals.
Are you truimg to imply that a crappy image generator that can barely make text and has trouble generating the appropriate amount of fingers has taken over THE ENTIRE visual design industry?
We probably live on different planets.
What they are trying to point out is that as self confident as you portray yourself in your skills, at one point you sucked and you got hired anyway.
The new reality is you never would have been able to get into this industry because nobody would have given you a chance.
Again, you are living in a different world if you believe this is true.
Stop reading headlines and go experience the real world.
Graphics design jobs are not in any danger.
Illustration? Mayyybe. But even that's a stretch.
Yeah, on my planet I'm living with someone that earns her living with marketing focused DA. On that same planet I've spent close to 200hrs trying to figure out how close the current tech can come to artistic talent. With the correct keywords it can come eerily close.
You shouldn't dismiss it just because you can't get it to deliver what you need.
The garbage I see on the internet is enough for me to not use it. Let me hire a "prompt engineer", I'm sure that's more useful than a junior graphics designer. In your world, maybe.

That's your response? Cheap copout bro.
