Definitely agree, however if the client then ends up depending on AI for their plans and decisions you may end up with these models marking their own homework so to speak. You’ll get a totally unimaginative and generic product out the other end, if they manage to make a product at all that is
Comment on They really hate artists

As a former graphic department manager, artists can be difficult to work with… for non-artists.
I got to see how frustrated the boss/owner got dealing with us. We’re not a neat, blackbox they can shove instructions into and get out a perfectly formed product on the first round--which is what they think AI will give them soon. If they think AI will be better at dealing with client demands, I’ll be happy to watch them fail with that.

Honestly, I don’t even think it’s an artist vs non-artist thing.
It’s a communication thing, and specifically it hinges on leading with curiosity, trusting the people, and clearly defining expectations (or, failing that, setting boundaries).
I work in a different role now, but a large part of what I do is similar: interfacing between people of differing skill sets, expectations, and needs.
I’ve found that if I don’t get in front of people, they tend to assume the other party is hard to work with or maybe even dumb, rather than merely approaching from their own frame of reference. It gets easier once people realize that no one is an idiot, and we’re all just trying to check different boxes, often without a clear idea of the others considerations.
Except for that one colleague. Woof. Do they got blackmail on leadership or something? How do they manage to even feed themselves every day?

I agree with you. Artists aren’t a neat, blackbox they can shove instructions into and get out a perfectly formed product on the first round, but neither is anybody else.
That said, artists aren’t the only group of workers they hope to replace with AI.
