General Discussion

to create product shots for protein shakes. I'm a graphic designer and I have the photoshop skills developed over my career to create the product shots using stock photos, or my own photos, illustration and color manipulation depicting the flavors...chocolate chip, strawberry banana, etc.

The AI generated images look very similar to the one's I have created. It may have actually utilized some of my images to do this...along with millions of other images from professional photographers and illustrators.

I take/took a lot of pride in the skills that I developed over the years. I've had an okay time of it, career wise.

My point is this. At least in my field of expertise, it is here and I have to deal with it to be competitive. I'm having clients with no graphic experience sending me AI generated images that they want to print, or incorporate into their pieces.

It's not going away. We have to use it right, but ignoring it won't work. The colleges should figure out a way to incorporate it without making us morons.

Letting students figure it out is probably not the best way.
