I do my best to not use AI my professional designs. It’s almost impossible to avoid it completely at this point as it has been completely baked into all Adobe programs. For example using Photoshop tools to remove backgrounds and mask pieces of an image is now all done with AI. It’s frustrating because manual use leads to happy accidents, human imperfection, and learning new things. It is a powerful tool and also a whole lot of fun to play with, but I am committed to creating designs that are handmade. From hand painting backgrounds to painting manually in Photoshop, I feel that AI simply cannot create on a human level. Additionally, I have many ethical concerns about other artist’s work being fed to AI systems without any regard for copyright and no compensation.
