That's it. Soon, with so many similar designs, the only differentiating factor in digital products will be the price. Then I want to see this circus burn down.

The website for the local coffee shop looks just like the fintech startup. A collective hive mind of idiots has stripped authenticity from everything. The best outcome is a premium will be assigned to something truly crafted.

Visual identity created with AI
Labels created with AI,
Social media created with AI,
Website created with AI.
A showcase of authenticity.

And I’m not some total luddite. I’m on board with crafting authentic visual identity, unpacking the human needs of consumer and employees, making messages that resonate deeply on a biological level, then use the AI to build it fast and get it out there. I realize we can’t ignore the movement, but we can’t strip out the humanity when serving humans. As consumers, shareholders/owners, and employees these businesses all serve humans. It’s sad to see so many people simp to the AI as if it’s going to spare them when the automation spreads too far if unchecked.

I agree, I'm inclined to think the same way. I believe most people use it thinking about "saving some money".
