Try to use it. You will see that AI is not like you imagined it. You still need to know how to use it to create something cool. For example I was struggling with design for personal website and tried using AI to find some inspiration. After a lot of tries I just left it and made design the "oldschool" way and liked it better then anything that AI came up with

AI can easily create something beautiful but very often it won't be what you wanted it to be, unless you are very specific with the words you use

[@adrian1689]

There’s research about the need humans have for “labor”. Not work or a job, but the labor required to see something completed through one’s own effort. The absence of this kind of thing is often associated with declining mental health. That I think is what scares me most about ai, it strips away a lot of the inherent labor that is associated with creativity, which is a big part of why people enjoy creative pursuits.

[@belluhresto8689]

i'm a painter, not a graphic designer, but everything you said really inspired me. why are we trying to give up the fun and love that goes into making art as if it is tedious and unnecessary, and only the end product matters? every artist and designer was drawn to creating for a reason, and robbing us of being able to create by taking away our means of making money to support ourselves is thoughtless and cruel. we should be developing ai for things that are hard on the workers or don't have enough workers in the field for them, not those that people want and live to do.

[@emnersonn]

I've always been kind of iffy about this subject, thinking, "well if it helps me design something, then I guess why not?" But it can never do what I have envisioned. I think that the best use for A.I. is for things like subject selection, using it as a content aware fill replacement, and for small expansions to resize images. Just things that we couldn't do before but also weren't a particularly fun part of designing. Using A.I. as a replacement for your own creativity, though, is a really good way to take away the heart of a design. It doesn't bring much to the table because we already have people that can create original things.

[@sophiealmond]

oh my god…. those clips of them talking about getting rid of sketching is nightmare material…. the process of creating is what makes art so fun, and all they care about is pushing out some bland product … elliot you are a saviour in this art youtube world fr

[@adrian1689]

As an industrial Design student, this video really resonated with me. Everyone I see promoting the usage of ai is in a senior or upper level design role, so they’re kind of insulated from the effects it will have on the lower level designers, the people trying to break into the industry. A lot of the “boring” things about design that people are pushing ai to take over, are usually done by lower level designers and interns. If ai adopts these roles en made, it’ll make the industry that much harder to get into for a lot of people

[@vsvu]

Hey, I’m an Industrial Design student as well with an intent in minoring in Graphic design. The whole concept of A.I. seems askew right now, almost from all sides. I just can’t say that I’ve been afraid of A.I., just cautious if anything. Ever since it’s introduction, I’ve honestly seen it as a tool - not to replace, but to assist in the design process (pre-vis and stuff like that). I’m also not scared, because I know art and design will not be replaced by A.I. Now, maybe, just maybe in a few areas, companies will want to cut corners and save a few bucks by slowly tip-toeing toward using A.I. instead of commissioned artists or designers, but I’m willing to bet that would be a really rare case. I don’t think human-design or human-art is ever going to go away - it’s just something that can’t be killed. Everyone can appreciate a human eye or touch, so there will still be markets for that. A.I., as I understand it, seems more of a resource for those who may not be confident in their artistic ability. “I wanna make this cool thumbnail/book cover/PC background, but I don’t know how I would even do that. And I’m not about to spend $50+ on something as small as that.” That’s an exact scenario I think I’ve seen myself in. Someone who doesn’t have the talent or resources to create something they want, so A.I. just opens that opportunity- and allows people to discover their creativity. In my case, it was finding Adobe Illustrator (Ai, I know, ironic right?). I have always had an eye for design, but never the skill to put pen to paper and make something beautiful out of it. I found Ai, a place where I could freely design and make my ideas come to life without the explicit need to know how to draw - and just because of that, I switched my whole career path. (That being said, I am learning to sketch as a ID student, and I’m very happy to still learn how to draw.) Just like how Blender could give people with the desire to make models the ability to, without needing to understand the nuances or art of clay modeling - something that is still very prevalent, even with all of these 3D modeling programs we have. I guess my main point is, A.I. isn’t here to replace, but to assist. That’s at least how I view it. There’s still the ability to be creative with A.I., and there are plenty of examples out there already - this is what matters to me. More people are being able to discover a realm of creativity that may have not ever been accessible or tangible to them before. I’ll probably post this comment in the main comment section, because I’d like to see other folks’ take on it; please don’t take this as me trying to force my opinion on to you, I just saw you were a fellow ID student, and wanted to share my view - because it’s a big part of where I am now. Thanks for reading all of this if you did, and I’d love to hear your feedback (if you want to reply).

This is really interesting to me because I’m an illustrator as well as designer and the digital art community has been boycotting AI art because it’s pulling from artists without permission. These bots usually just pull from google and artists are not being asked for their work to be included, and then the bots are taking it and replicating it hundreds of times. So no, using AI is not any better than copying an image from google because 1. They’re a basically composite of images from google and 2. Artists and designers are not being credited, paid, or even asked for permission for their work to be used. Artists have been seeing their signatures pop up on AI pieces, which is like so wild. I think AI has a long way to go before it can be embraced in the art and design world.

[@chrisssward]

regardless if AI technology is implemented or not - I think what ive learned in my years of experience, is that a lot of clients lack creativity. This is why theyve come to us in the first place. So even with the technology to generate works, they will often times still lack the creative intuition of what to even prompt it with to get their desired results. I think a big thing that gets overlooked in our field is just how little direction the avg client often gives initially for a project. Part of the job is being able to ask those questions to engage with them and evoke a bit of emotion out of 'em to help bring their vision to light.

[@hullstar242]

Yep precisely this. An Ai can only at its best give that client exactly what they asked for. But only a designer can give them exactly what they need based on the project as a whole. Clients usually don’t know what they want, they just know for example that a logo doesn’t work, or that they’d like to lean towards a different audience. We use the information they give us and our experience in the real world to create something that solves their problem using our uniquely human minds.

Thank you for this! I've been watching big graphic design creators for a while, and don't get me wring I have learnt a lot from Will etc, but finding your channel has made me realise that their content makes me scared of design and yours makes me inspired. Lately I've felt so intimidated by the idea that everything has to be really perfect, minimal and corporate. Seeing you design posters based on your liked tiktoks and just messing around until you like what you've made, has really opened my eyes to that I used to ENJOY design and the creative process. Like you said, using AI things for selection etc is a lifesaver because that just saves me time. But using AI to find "inspiration" (aka copying stolen art from the Internet churned together into something generic and lifeless) is not something that should be promoted. This video showed genuine fear and confusion about the weird attitudes around AI in the design community, and your passion and enthusiasm is such a beacon of light

I used to work in an AI-related team in one of the top three's, and when we talked about the future of AI, it was always about creating tools that will help people achieve their tasks rather than totally replace those who work in the industry. And things like DALL-E or Midjourney are something that I totally don't understand - it doesn't have any particular use case (such as enriching datasets for better results of other networks), rather than just a "show-off flex" from silicone valley boys. To be honest - it is just a pure money-making machine because it has a large user base of people subscribed to it.

Love the video! It's been interesting to hear your thoughts in response to my video. Just to clarify a couple things I probably wasn't clear about: I don't think Ai is "the be-all and end-all". I wanted to make the video showing examples (however crude) of how Ai can help with ideation. I make these videos because graphic design is my passion **insert meme here**. It's truly amazing to be able to guide, inspire and encourage creatives on their journey. And out of 800+ videos, I've made two on Ai specifically because it's a super interesting topic right now. Also to make clear - I don't suggest "not sketching" in your process. That's 90% of what I do as a logotype designer and it obviously hasn't come across clearly enough. I was asking a valid question just like everyone else. It's good to have these discussions and hear different points of view, that's what makes us truly human. :)

[@sunnychutney]

Oh gosh I totally agree. Some of the conversation makes me super nervous about it - I don't understand why we need to "optimize" our work? It feels a bit too machine like for something that I think is uniquely human about art & design. Its hard to put into words but I don't think fearmongering artists (esp young ones) into using AI is a good idea. I really admire Will & Satori Graphics but this is so mind boggling. I personally feel like there are better ways to use AIs and in better sectors than pumping out quick artwork - there's so much more in inclusivity & making technology accessible that these things could help us but goddamn, the prompts thing is really taking me out.

And I want to enjoy the creative process. Yes it can be helpful for some things, but overall I am just going to continue doing what I love and not let AI do everyting for me.

[@lenadesigns7486]

the amount of people really pushing for A.I. doesnt sit well with me and i think you hit the nail on the head with why. personally im not as afraid of it though because i just dont think it'll ever be able to replicate what you need people to do... to make designs feel more human and considered?? i kinda view A.I. like site builders in a way, like squarespace. although it's very accessible for non-designers to use, i think there's still nuances that require a designer to build sites that people would want to use and interact with, especially with creating systems that are human-centered that A.I. might not be able to replicate... and even extending that logic across all mediums whether that's a branding project, or something as vast and complex as human factors. the amount of preaching there is with A.I. being a necessary tool and that it'll replace designers feels unlikely to me, it's not all about the end product, which is really all what A.I. will offer in my opinion. in most cases theres a process that goes behind creating and rationalizing designs, which there'll always be a demand for... i think(?)

I totally agree about all the slippery slope thinking. It reminds me of the hype around crypto currency and NFTs. Some people seem to have a hard time with mixed bags and uncertainty. Personally I'm paying attention to the tools and using them as they become relevant. Content aware fill is amazing. Sometimes I generate individual elements on MidJourney to be cut out and used in a design like fruit or flowers or landscape backgrounds. But what I've noticed is that the artwork made from Dall-E or Midjourney feels like an average (which it kind of is). It feels like you're asking a room full of people for their opinion and it may be right but usually it's just kind of... expected. Art is about the human condition and no A.I. will ever be better at being human than a human.

[@djan71]

[@VictoryOverAll]

Holy capital-eff-f*ck, this is refreshing. You've put into words exactly how I feel about this whole mess. My heart sinks every time I see a prominent person in the world of design jumping on this dystopian bandwagon. In a way, it's made me consider the idea that many of these people might have never really known what they're talking about, at least not to the level we've been led to believe by their well produced videos and high subscriber count. Maybe they've just regurgitated whatever trends/ideas/workflows they've been absorbing online, and because of their "Big Design KZbinr" status, their content has been interpreted as gospel. In a way, this whole thing has conveniently pointed out the people who are full of sh!t. Not you though Elliot. You are a cool guy.

[@pidge7]

It's good to see someone saying this! Honestly, as much as Satori has good educational content (in a certain context) I would not encourage people that value creativity to follow someone like that. They really just give a vibe off that's more like well-refined capitalist machine churning out what the "algorithm" (on YT and in the real client world) want, rather than someone who creates for self expression and the sake of creativity. So yeah, I can see why they'd be pro-AI. But I also wouldn't consider them to represent the actual creative side of graphic design or as designers that cater to people who appreciate creativity. For more artistic designers like you and your community, I think perhaps with AI the quantity of the client pool will go down but the quality of those clients remaining will go up -- the kind of clients you wouldn't want to work with anyway (that don't really appreciate creativity and artistry) will go for AI and pro-AI type designers. If anything, it'll just weed out the red-flag clients for us lol.

[@moorecreativ]

thanks for doing this video Elliot. i think you're spot on with every point. lets not also miss the ethical and legal issues with AI. these generators do not create something new. it bashes images together to match a prompt, but uses images and artwork it does not have permission to use. they target the biggest portfolio sites like art station, deviant art, behance, etc and decided everyone's work would be opt-ed into it. plus, i also agree on the point that even if the generators were using images with permission, its still a lame ass way to create

[@ethanmrob]

In a weird way, I feel like this uptick in AI might increase the value of human-generated art and designs. When everyone has access to mediocre (or even fairly good) art, copy, etc. via AI, the value of people who have kept to their industry and are still absolute masters in the field might become more highly valued. The humans who stick it out might find themselves more in demand because the rest will have “given in” to AI. Does that make sense? I have no idea if it makes sense. Anyway. 😂

[@InventorZahran]

It makes total sense. In a world where mediocre text and visuals can be effortlessly generated by anyone and everyone, human-made art will stand out for its...humanity. When people make art, our unique life experiences inform and affect what we create (both consciously and subconsciously). A robot will never be able to replicate that because it has no life to live, no experiences to be shaped by, and no feelings to express!

[@kassemir]

Another thing is that people like working with other people. Like, if there's a person behind you can suggest changes and steer a design in a certain direction. With prompting you're just throwing shit at the wall, hoping it'll understand your ideas, and if it doesn't, you can't have a real conversation, because it's a robot.

Also, talking about the ‘hype’ to some extent, personally I feel that how when it comes to ‘design’ or ‘art’ it was always seen as something not everyone would be able to come up with, they would need the external help With AI being in the picture now, anyone (not just designers) feel they got the power to create something without the help of an artist/ designer. Or rather feel they can come up with something cool of their own with few prompts, ( this can lack some amount of visualisation for sure 😅) We as designers are passionate beings when it comes to our work. We can make use of AI as long as it doesn’t question our passion or take away the joy we have designing things old school. 😊

I think we're in for a big change that's gonna be hard to predict where it'll go. AI is potentially gonna replace so much more than just art and design as we know it. To me it looks like it will likely replace almost all thought based work as it is today.

I've been working as an in-house designer for a few years and there are like small things I wish AI could take over. Like oh you need 8 different versions of a sales posters with different prices and legal copy on them. Sure please take that work off my plate. In fact, I beg you to let the robots do that for me. But the fact that AI is replacing the creative parts of our jobs is a real bummer. I would much rather spend all day illustrating something than updating sales copy or putting together strategy decks.

Oh man, Elliot is such a pure content creator. You can really feel the passion he has for graphic design. Even though this video was unscripted his thoughts really resonated with me and I just could not agree more on the points he made. As a beginner graphic designer myself I had some negative thoughts and fears about everything that is going on around AI especially because of how much it was pushed onto people on social media and KZbin. Thank you for this video Elliot, I am sure it is something that many people needed to hear 💛

Design and art in general is also about your name and story behind you and your work. So don't worry about AI taking over.

"my stuff is a rip off of a million different things that i've just absorbed into my head and i regurgitated onto the page" Elliot just described the brazilian modernist Anthropophagic Manifesto from the 1920s and this is beautiful! Elliot is a cannibal guy

Happy Birthday!

[@sunnytine]

i'm really living for those jingles but on the topic of the video, yes. it's scary because i feel like people (as those you mentioned in this video) give their everything to A.I. as they didn't say earlier that it will, at some point, replace them. do they even like what they do?? and the part where the guy say that sketching will become more like prompting in the future, where is the fun in that?? it will feels like trying to find a song you don't know the name on youtube..

[@lilo2910]

Elliot you're the best 👍
