      I work freelance but occasionally needed to partner with artists and other stuff. But I now use various “ai” projects and no longer need to pay people to do the with as the computer can do it good enough.

      I’m not some millionaire, I’m just a guy trying to save money to buy a house one day, so it’s not like a large economic impact, but I can’t be the only one.

      Ux is not about drawing pictures. That work is already automated by ui kits anyway. Ux is about thinking through requirements and research.

          Mm, I’ve already seen marketers present outputs from GPT models as if it’s useful customer feedback. My suspicion is this bubble will burst though, because at some point it will become clear that they are not as good as what they’re doing as execs have been told they are.

      We’re a long way out from that fortunately.

      Not saying that some jobs won’t be cut/lost, but the companies doing that were likely looking for reasons to downsize.

      AI models do not replace competent UI/UX. That’s just not what they’re designed to do. Very different functions.

          Oh, 100 percent right you are. Definitely not saying clueless corporate idiot bosses aren’t going to try and replace their workforce with AI.

          But I am saying that it won’t work for them after they do that. They’re going to crash and burn here, and have lost that talent and expertise within their company so there’s no replacing it, except slowly over time.

              It’s depressing how right you probably are about how companies are going to cope with this.

              Reminds me of that quote: “If Conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject Democracy.”

              But, like, apply that to Capitalism and Capitalists rejecting Capitalism in favor of Socialism for them.

      I can tell you now that AI won’t come for UX/UI teams, at least not in the near future. Clients rarely are able to really articulate what they need out of software and until AI is smart enough to suss that out, we’re good. That being said, I’m sure there will be companies that try to go that route but I doubt it will work, again, in the near term.
