He works for a marketing and web design firm. So the guy who designed their graphics is gone and they are using AI tools. Imagine paying for a firm to build you web and marketing materials only to have someone just use an AI.
Why bother paying the marketing firm at all?
Because marketing material written by humans is better quality, and this is a red flag for potential customers.
Personally, if I’m googling for a product and I end up on a content marketing article that was written by AI, I’m not going to buy their product because I know their product is likely shit, especially their AI customer support.
That’s also happening.
That was my though all along, just do the same and can the company.
Designers need to flood the market and undercut the price until the companies are gone.
What’s easy for them is easy for everyone

There is no such thing as basic human decency when you’re being used (aka “employed”).

I feel that’s not actually replaced by ai rather his previous works have been templated and a script is replacing names and stuff automatically. The solution is called “ai” because in this way the developer can price it higher
This said, for a client point of view, switching from “everything is custom” (=$$$) to “everything is from a cookie cutter” is not good. Long term viability of that marketing company is compromised, IMHO. Why a client should pay $$$ if all it gets is something that could come with $5 from Fiverr or even with a free Canva trial?
A graphic designer is still indispensable, especially if they were “so busy that could barely take a few days off”
Man, this shit is going to cause some political instability. Like, yeah, the guy spent multiple years learning a job which is obsoleted a decade later. He might be able to pivot to game design, but that might be obsoleted in yet another decade. Who even knows at this point?
Going into retail or some craftsmanship job, that’s probably going to be a safer bet, because robots still have a farther path to go, but those jobs already pay badly today. Even more people looking to do these jobs isn’t going to help.
I spent multiple years learning a skillset which put me into an employment position. Of those jobs I had as an employee 20 years ago, almost all of them were mostly done by machine learning systems a decade later. But that was OK, because I kept on learning and moving ahead of the trend, leaving the learned,boring stuff to automation while I learned new things to give my company a competitive advantage.
I don’t think I could ever work a career where the job I was hired for was my employment until I left.
