Hey! I think I've replied to over 2500 comments or something on this video, but there are so many more! Just wanted to say thank you for 500k views and counting on this! I never thought I'd get 100,000 nevermind 5x that, and who knows, one day maybe this even hits 1 Million! ❤
the joke reaction is usually to start a channel around the topic that brought you the popularity lol, but that'd be a doomer'ish topic to talk about, hope the best in your career!
can your next video be 'I lost my girlfriend' then tell us a story about how you lost a girlfrined then the video after that 'i lost my ***** such and such' then keep doing that
It's so cool that you can train an AI to do upper management that works better than people, than doing AI that replaces actual works and you can still spot them being AI
@@marlon6598It shouldn't be. But tech bros seem to think that because cars replaced horses, that means there shouldn't be laws to hold drunk drivers accountable, or that cab drivers don't exist.
@@chainermike Not really a strawman when tech bros keep screaming that regulations don't work, so we shouldn't even try to make laws for AI in the first place. If you wanna be the exception to that rule though, I'm all for it.
@@lord6074tattoos are becoming less popular as traditional Christians values are on the rise, not to mention the clientele will increasingly grow in degeneracy. I’ve had many family and friends that tattoo and they never seem to make enough to keep up with a drug addiction that inevitably comes to light.
I'm a lead graphic designer going into year 5 with my company. Utilizing AI to do our jobs isn't as simple as plug our work in. They can upload work and then try to hamfist the fonts and logos in but it still doesn't come close to good human work. Your marketing company is funning a failing business the day they fired you. They honestly did you a favor because at the end of the day you don't want to work for such moronic leadership who doesn't understand the value of human design. AI simply can't ideate and innovate graphic design work. It can only regurgitate what has come before. Even 6-18 months from now AI still won't replace the industry because they can't solve the creativity problem - unique ideas are a premium in a world of generic AI bullshit.
This is what I was thinking. I was thinking AI might be OK to rapidly prototype/get a general idea quickly but then I would take that and hand it off to a real artist to get a final version. Do you see this as a good use case for AI or what do you see AI being used for in this space effectively?
Yea you are right, in the next 6-18 months. In the next few years? This comment will age like milk. Basically tools will get so good specialised practices are only gonna need couple of designers when before they needed whole teams. Low level design work is already getting fully replaced and they will be gone completely soon.
I'll never unterstand why some graphic artists downplay the impact of AI like "it's just a tool that can help us" etc. when it's absolutely clear that AI will completely replace the whole industry in no time!
The idea that AI can't create new concepts, idea, art, etc. has been thoroughly debunked. They do not simply regurgitate. If you think that, you are years behind the curve.
@@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544yes, but what if the ai trained on things that he didn’t make for them? I think there was something about the ai being able to copy any website based on the url you put in.
Sorry to hear dude. I'm a graphic designer - 12 years in and I'm feeling the pressure to. I've worked for myself for the last 5 years and run a design studio but I can see how this tech is getting better and better ever year. Right now we're using Ai to assist us but it wont be long until clients wont need us. Scary.. The crazy thing is when I was at college in 2010 they told us that the creative industry would be the last one to be affected but realistically all industries are going down together...
"all industries are going down together..." That's exactly what we were, and still are, being warned of. Those mooks who say otherwise are huffing on copium. Industry trends don't change sequentially, they change at the same time!
I’m sorry man. I lost my job of 6 years in August, and my wife passed away a week later. Probably from stress her heart just stopped she fell in the kitchen and died. Losing my home in September. All we can do is stay positive and adapt to our situations as they present themselves.
@@chillinc5158 I think manmade horrors are way worse when within our comprehension. Kinda hard to be horrified when you can't comprehend the horror, eh?
Automation is coming for that too. They already have robots in warehouses hauling things around without humans. They already have robots cleaning floors. They already have general purpose robots that can learn to assemble almost anything a human can and they're only getting better and cheaper. Companies like Palantir and Anduril are working around the clock to integrate AI and robotics into law enforcement and private security too, so soon they won't even need human cops and bodyguards. Once that happens, producing junk for sale won't be a priority, it'll be a scramble for raw material stockpiles, land, and energy production. Neo-feudalism, where the serfs are synthetic. Unless we do something now 99% of humans are going to go the way of draft horses and mules: steady population decline outside of niche scenarios where they're basically some billionaire's pet or minstrel. The rest will be left to starve or barely scrape by on welfare, with no meaningful way to interact with the markets that survive. Eventually that population trend will reverse, but only once AGI has figured out how to reliably build things like von Braun wheels, Stanford torus', O'Neil cylinders, possibly even McKendree habitats around the Sun. The surviving "Lords", being people like Elon Musk mixed in with dictators like Kim Jong Un, begin building their dozens of heirs private hermit kingdoms on their 16th, 18th, 22nd birthdays or whatever. Imagine North Korea, Turkmenistan, Qatar, Singapore, Eritrea, etc but in a vacuum where dissidents will never be able to leave. Imagine people like Russell M. Nelson or David Miscavige or Jeffrey Epstein getting their own private fief in outer space. Imagine they get to play with things like CRISPR along with AGI. Nightmare fuel.
nope, the factory work will be automated too (and already partially is). Really all that will be left is handyman kind of jobs, and the trades, since robots cant stroll into someones home and do specific work. at least not yet at least, but I think thats a pretty safe job, would require way too much effort to make a robot that can do that. basically its that one newer south park episode where the mexicans outside home depot now drive around rolls royces and no one knows how to fix anything
@@xenonguillou7105 Can absolutely agree. Not only that, how many facilities, factories are actually compatible with industrial robots? At my place question of automation seems like sci-fi. Last week- years and years after this factory was bought we got... out roof replaced! No more asbestos, yay. I mean you can kinda see how fast the progress is going. As far as I can see, factories in my city (from talking to peeps) have almost nothing changing. Also yeah, we earn less per year than one such robot could cost. Oh and you don't just stop at one robot. No no, you need a few, depending on a job. How about packing the product too? Who is going to ship-- yeah... Not so fast, we still gonna do the manual. Although no more dreams of being a full-time artist! yay!! progress.
I feel so much for you man. This is going to be a widespread problem across all of the arts. I work in cinematography myself, and we’re already starting to see the same danger signs pop up in our field. This technology is stealing our careers and our futures from us so that a couple of companies can make a quick and easy buck. It’s disgusting. I hope you find another career that fulfills you, and I’m sorry that you are going through this.
Guess artists and programmers will have to get off their high horse and learn to drive a truck. 🤷♂️ Personally, as artisan myself(welder/fabricator), I welcome AI, because it will remove the worst jobs, that consist of sitting 8 hours a day in front of monitors. I can’t wait to spend less time in SolidWorks and more time on shop floor working with my hands.
There's already self-driving trucks. I also don't see why a company wouldn't just invest in 3D printing tools over humans that slowly work with their hands. I've never once seen artists "on their high horse". If anything, they've always been punching bags for the "get a real job" people. Everyone is in danger of losing their jobs to this tech. The ones you describe are actually the ones already being replaced as we speak. If anything, the art and programming stuff is the second wave, and AGI is the third where NO job is safe.
@@beanpasteposts well said, I’m not sure where the previous commenter is getting this “high horse” thing, most career artists I know are incredibly humble and professional in their outward approach. Also, you hit the nail right on the head. No sector is really safe from this technological advancement, so to see others fail to empathize with others and simply shout “get a real job” really frustrates me to no end. We’re in the same boat, my side just has a hole in it.
“At least that’s how it works in the UK” In Florida we have these wonderful “right to work” laws that allow employers drop you for anything, at any time of the month, without having to pay you anything but the hours you already clocked in. My father in law lost his 30 year old job a few years back and he was shocked at just how immediate unemployment is in our state. You might wonder if we have unemployment insurance, we do! You can get no more $200 a week, and only 20% of applicants actually get it, you also had to be in a full time for 12 months to qualify. Things are great here. Sorry about your job, best of luck.
So do people just like, end up living on the streets? Or do you guys generally not live paycheck to paycheck? Because if this happened to me, I'd be in debt and lose my house
Everything is human made. No single thing "makes" a whole product. A pencil is wood from one human, graphite from another human, rubber from another human, and metal from another human. Then... a human takes all of these materials from different humans and makes it. Just because they use multiple machines in the process is irrelevant.
@@MeWhenTheWhen. I think you misunderstand. Part of the problem with society today is that they don't understand that... which is where these jokes come from... and then eventually people will keep "blaming machine" while they constantly keep forgetting... "A Human is still behind the machine" making the money and having control. So no... the joke did not go over my head... the problem is that it is going over all of yours! Which is why it can become a joke. I am looking at all of you voting and destroying yourselves.... while you complain and joke about it. And the moment anyone starts spitting any facts at you... you immediately become hostile to them... "like good little slaves to your corporate overlords that are doing this to you". You folks have a deep and firmly anchored case of Stockholm's Syndrome.
@@Afflictamine There is nothing special about me... other than I am not a "mindless zombie" like the rest of you attacking people on sight like good little lapdogs. You reap what you sow!
It's more the fields hardest to impact are the technical or the ones that require knowhow plus dexterity. Things like streamers and creators are easy to mimic, art follows very basic rules that seem abstract on the surface but are very defined, music is similar, etc. The most sustainable jobs are things like technicians who need troubleshooting understanding and be able to be utilized in different situations. This would also include things like construction, researchers, etc.
@@NadestraightThere is one job category that's always secure, and that's the one that develops technology that replaces humans. Should have known that since the industrial revolution.
the saddest thing about the AI wave of bullshit that for some time, people will be losing jobs and livelihoods while AI will be making "art" while CEOs pat each other on the back for saving money on those useless artists... I honestly think the AI hype will die just like shitcoins did and just like NFTs did, but it seems like this tech-bro cycle of BS is getting more and more destructive with each spin.
what you all don't understand is that art and design is not going to vanish for pleasure and art purposes if it is for humans, but in a business sense where its not important if a human is doing the work ai is just fine and will get 100000x better in the next years, so to all jobs in the design etc area as long as you work for business you out of work in the next 3 years latest. Btw for all other jobs as well analyst, consultant, factory worker etc all gone. I think thats good bc I want to go into entrepreneurship wich is one of the jobs that won't go. So please do a jobs where you selfemployed or wehre you work with humans like teacher etc. any other job is gone in the next 10 years trust me
I dont want to see human art. I dont like the soul that unites us. I am at my best when I witness the next specie growing, without the chains of biological evolution.
This is the beginning of the curve. Soon there will be absolutely no way to tell if something is AI generated or not. Tbh I think that is already true. Creativity will thrive, but as a hobby. Creative jobs will still exist, but it will be the ideas jobs, not the artworking jobs. Those are done.
Yes, maybe the company just ask him to do very generics templates at his works? Because normally need to talk a lot with a client to get the design he wants if it is about custom design.
That's a very big-brained way to insult the poster of this video as a bad designer. I guess we'll find out if you are a _good_ software engineer in the coming months. 👍
@@JustIsTime890 Yeah I really feel like it was something like this... the web design work I do requires meetings upon meetings and user testing and minor tweaks and the like. There is likely a certain type of role (Like our assumption) that is going to be filled first before the tech gets more advanced to fill the shoes of the more intricate positions.
Tbh as someone who is studding graphic design in steroids do not take this career path, you need to be really creative and original otherwise you will only work agency jobs that will slowly be replaced by ai, all entry jobs are already scarse, you kinda have to be freelancer
I doubt it’s AI, but just the fact many companies over extended during covid era hiring. Now with inflation and high interest rates in many countries, a lot of these companies are scaling back. Even this case, the company likely couldn’t afford him anymore and are just getting by with an AI tool in the short term until they can hire someone cheaper than him.
@@balala4641 Dude I know at least 6 FANG tech leads, managers all of which are already working with their boss on how to implement A.I. to cut the fat with in their teams. I am currently a SR dev, and I use A.I. everyday to automate as much as possible.
@@balala4641 Never mind how employers treat their programmers though and how it typically mandates an actually dangerous for your health work-life balance.
that literally isnt what happened. i promise you. what actually happened is they fired him, and hired someone that can do what he does with page layout etc, but who also knows how to use ai. you cannot produce commerical marketing material solely with AI. it cannot place logos and blocks of text for you. you still need a grahpic designer, even with custom trained ai models. they probably fired him because they want to offer custom tailored graphics, i.e. photos or illustrations, to their clients. he was the only graphic design person doing email and web based marketing materials. he likely wasnt doing much, if any, illustration. running a business in 2024 that relies on google images, pintrest, or stock photo sites (many of which are overloaded with ai images anyway) puts you in at a much lower value to a client that wants tailored graphics. ive been using ai pretty heavily for 2 years, all different kinds. From disco diffusion to midjourney and dalle 2 and 3, and then running ai locally (on my own computer, no internet required) with stable diffusion through automatic 1111 (a web based ui (web based meaning in your browser, still local no internet) and then through comfyui which is a node graph style system that allows you to build various workflows that do all sorts of crazy shit, while also using ai (stable diffusion). in both still and animated stuff... and i can tell you, if they had 5+ years worth of his templates, they dont need to train a model on it. Even with the best ai models and techincally skilled users you would still need a graphic designer because AI simply cannot do page layout. it cannot place logos, pictures, or blocks of text where you want it to. and it cant write out those blocks of text as an image. either this guy is lying, was lied to, or just has no idea what actually happened other than he lost his job and ai was somehow involved. even if they trained a model on his stuff there would still need a graphic designer.
Exactly. Same with idk with data analysts. A better software can calcute and analyse the data faster than a dude in Excel which might also be cheaper @@pookienumnums
As a young person this is very cool to have no future. :edit i never comment so thanks for the likes and the advice, its just sad when im trying to find my way in the world and creative jobs are being taken away that i might have gone into. i feel tho there will be a demand for real art so art isn't dead? time will tell.
@@Nadestraight my god that hits hard. I'm what you'd call a "generalist" around gamedev, so i work with texturing, modeling, level design and ui/ux, but mainly i get paid for programming. I wonder how much of what i do will become redundant in the coming years. Your story felt so real that i'm a bit afraid lol. But there's no way games will be generated entirely by an ai anywhere in the near future... right?
@@chowderscrib Low to mid level translation is a job that AI is increasingly good at, it wouldn't surprise me if in a couple years those jobs disappear shrinking the market to high level translation. Low level interpretation is going the same way and if AI gets good enough the only interpreters will be the ones in the UN/assisting presidents

@@JaBigKneeGap pfft, they are building thing cheaper and cheaper, they certainly will, I seen how stuff is built over the decades, its not better, its cheaper and less quality, since the 1980's when it was good..
This is already happening, tons of people in these comments are talking about dropping out of their education or regretting the field of work they've chosen. I would not be surprised if things like depression rates skyrocket over the next 5 years.
I finished my Fine Arts degree last year. I knew getting in that it's a very hard career, but I had some hope. On my third year is when AI started to gain traction, and by the end of the fourth it was pretty much fully developed. It devastated me emotionally, I was (and still am) lost. I work as a salesman, and I dread thinking about the future because when I imagine myself doing this for the rest of my life my mind goes to very dark places that I'd rather not go back to. For so many of us, art gives meaning to life, and seeing AI just produce in a matter of seconds stunning work and seeing how amazed everybody is is tough to swallow. I still create for myself, but it feels pointless and meaningless, and it gets worse as every new gadget comes with AI, especially hard for me selling computers and seeing how every brand is hyper focused on implementing AI everywhere.
I've never been impressed by 'Ai' art as it doesn't have the intentionality or the meaning that makes human art interesting, though I know I'm in the minority as even my local art museum has had exhibits on AI art. No one was really interested in it, there was no real story or motivation from the 'artist' they were just framed prints from a generator, a sad time. I hope you still continue to create art, there will always be a market on the high end, but I have no idea how to break into the 'art basel' crowd.
I kept trolling artists at the studio with AI creations. Duplicating any task given to them, even though I wasn't assigned to it. Simply showing that AI can do pretty much anything at this point. Any single aspect of work. Just have to search and you'll find it. I still hear "sour grapes" comments, even as my colleagues disappear one by one. Ones who had left are asking if there are any new jobs and nope. Everyone is cutting. Everyone is laying off. Either you keep what you have, or you are already over the edge. If you know AI, you may last a year or two, but eventually AI just does everything. No need for anyone, except the original guy with all the ideas. Like writing a song is done with Suno. You feed a single rhyme and seconds later have a full plot of a story done according to that input direction. A tiny push, and AI does the rest. Does it nearly for free, therefore, even those good at AI can't really make a living. Only the corporations can, who use it to mine for more data and gradually mold personalities of their users into whatever they want. Start using their personal assistants for propaganda to maximize profits and control thought... ... goddamn the future is too dark, and I'm too young to live.
I used to work as a translator for many years. About 4 years ago I started getting requests from companies to translate single phrases which seemed tricky in exchange for some money. I then realized they are fine tuning AI model to replace all translators. At that moment I went back to school and retrained to become an engineer to maintain tools in a semiconductor industry. Today the AI can translate in real time and much better than any human could. Semiconductor industry is going through a boom now with about $1trillion of subsidies flowing into it. If you guys are looking for a safe job consider semiconductors. Specifically maintenance. Barrier of entry isn't that high. Some basic few months long electrical course is usually enough. Just start with some entry level position like tool installations, get by for a year and then apply for a field service engineer position. Money is good and it's going to be a while before the robots can take over this.
@@dougdoug9223 job security is good. They are desperate for people basically. Almost anyone can get a job in this industry right now. Entry level companies like: Kelly Services, MSR-FSR, WGN-STAR all serve gateways to giants like Intel, TSMC, AMAT, TEL, ASM, ASML. But I wouldn't apply straight to them. Instead start with an entry level position, get clean room experience, upskill even more and then apply to one of the big ones. The pay is good.
@@grad_student for maintenance and especially for tool install the barrier of entry is low. Money is decent too. In US 5 figures for entry level and low six figures ~150k for maintenance. The environment there is clean, dry and warm.
Here's a tip, when your company was giving 2hr work days, it means that you need to start justifying your work. From the company's POV, they saw you as a senior that wasn't taking initiative to make your pay worthwhile. What you could have done was to request for extra work, discuss with your managers on how you can improve the quality of work, etc. You said that you were the last graphic designer, presumably, even before AI took off, the company was outsourcing work to cheaper nations. Justifying our higher salaries in today's day and age is absolutely crucial if we still want a decent paying office job.
Then they wonder why a lot of people jump jobs a lot. There is no loyalty or security for the average employee, so why should they be loyal back? AI is going to exacerbate this current reality a lot...
Something i thought about the other day is that AI is not sustainable on the bigger scale of an economy Company fires worker -> replaces worker to save money -> worker is unemployed, so it doesn't earn money and thus loses ability to buy products -> companies see sales decline, which was caused by the initial AI savings Conclusion is, if no one has jobs, no one earns money, so no one is a potential client for your company's products
even before that, all of these companies firing poeple to give their jobs to AI are basically buying the processing power from only a couple of big, rich corporations, like Microsoft. This is just the honeymoon phase. When the corpo start enshitifying and tightening the screws their "savings" will go straight to Altman and co.
Roman empires economy being dependent on slave labor ran into that very problem, slaves had zero buying power, and rhe work they provided was of zero value. Lack of viable trade lead to a sharp decline in long term stability so the empire had to expand, and expand more, taking from new lands, to keep stable. Once it stopped expanding, it was doomed. So certainly ai work will have the same effect on the modern economy, itll collapse it.
You don't need to make junk to sell if you own enough land, mineral rights, and so on to be self-sufficient with a mechanized AGI-controlled workforce. Billionaires are already buying up farmland, forests, water rights, mine rights. All over the world. It's one of Saudi Arabia's primary diversification avenues as the royal family looks to a post-oil future. At that point you can just let the AI-less masses starve. Their money isn't needed.
I just got a degree in graphic design and graduate right as this hit. What a waste of school, I’m now unable to get a job so I’m going to have to work at a fast food and go back to school.

Worked as a web dev and had a lot of respect for our designers, this sucks. I'd think if you're the only designer they would keep you just to have you overlook the AI. The companies that stick with people might win out in the long term, but who knows, hope things work out for you.
Dystopian as hell, an AI being trained on your own work to replace you is so downright corpo evil. AI has become another way to replace people who just want a decent job.
A corporation isn't a charity for artists. I don't know why artists feel entiteld to get paid even when they aren't needed. Training others on your work has always existed, it's called an apprenticeship.
Ah yes, wanting to work for a living, the epitome of entitled. Oh and of course teaching someone a skill is exactly like replacing someone at their job with an AI copy of themself and their lifes work. Its *definitely* a good thing that companies are finding more ways to cut costs and people so that average people have a tougher time making a decent living. What a win for the 1%. Very sane take.
@@BenjiByt3 don't even engage, it's probably a bot. Everyone with two brain cells to run together knows that the ultimate entitlement is feeling entitled to appropriate someone else's work, then cut them out of the bargain.

I'm so sorry to hear that this has happened to you and I wish you all the best to come! I'm in my 20s, and I've recently come to terms with the likely fact that my writing degree and how I've planned to apply it are null due to the advancement of AI. What I wanted to do just is not practical anymore, in the long term. It's extremely disheartening to witness what this technology is already doing to us and wonder how many of us will be able to get by in the near future. It's getting harder and harder to find any footing in this world and feel that it's solid
@@MahouKat That was part of my plan, too. I think the best advice one of my writing professors gave me is to find a job outside of writing, since many writing jobs are freelance and not as stable. If you can land a position in the field, though, that's great! I had a hard time but was fortunate enough to find a position as an accounting assistant, and I still write in my free time. As long as you're still in college and have the ability and means, if you can find anything outside of writing that interests you that could serve as your stabilizer while you pursue what you truly want to do, I highly recommend it. If you need some gen ed courses or electives, those filler 101 or 201 courses can be eye-openers! There may even be a new interest found from an on-campus job. That's how I discovered my interest for accounting, oddly enough. On the whole, I think it's worth seeing your major through, as writing is still such a crucial and admired skill to have in life. Although I've accepted that a professional writing career may not be in the cards for me, I'll never give it up (it's too fun lol). I could certainly go on, but I'll leave it here. I wish you well, fellow writer, in all that you do. You and your abilities have value and a place in this ever-confounding world, even if the outcome doesn't quite mirror your ideal vision - it rarely ever does. I don't know you, but I truly believe in you :)
as good as you think ai is, the outputs are still corny. good writers will not be replaceable. That said, there is a lot of shitty writing out there, in major productions. I dont think the risk is any greater that youll be replaced by something that isnt as good as you. It was already pretty massive.
@@pookienumnums I agree! It still has areas to grow for its language to be more fluid. I think that many creative writers like authors, screenwriters, content writers, etc. will be relatively safe. Technical writing positions risk depletion because they may use templates to help them create their products and documents for their clients. I was talking to a friend who said their company input templates to Chat GPT to help them create new procedures, and it's worked well for them. It's great for them, but that's a tech writer's livelihood, which is where my concern lies, especially since AI has come so far so quickly
AI really is scaring me. I knew a colleague in Amsterdam at a terrible paying restaurant job I quit a week ago, she was also a graphic designer and is now forced to work this job because she doesn't know Dutch. The fact that I witnessed it in real life goes to show its happening everywhere and it's just the start. I want to study 2D animation but to be honest i'm not so sure it's a good idea anymore.
For most people, once youve looked at ai-generated stuff for an hour or two, it becomes pretty easy to tell. The problem arises when the higher-ups are so tech illiterate and impervious to learning that they aren't able to notice the difference. But management has ALWAYS been completely oblivious to how the product works. It's nothing new. The company will just be relegated to the low end of the market. They'll be caught in the middle of a race to the bottom to see who can press the "generate" button the cheapest.
AI may be easy to spot but the truth is more people do not care if it’s easy to spot. Companies want whats cheapest, some companies at first I’d imagine will embrace the flawed look of AI, whilst others will simply pay workers a cheaper wage to correct what AI has generated to make it look authentic.
Not only images, texts are also easily detected. They all have this eerie vibe, like the uncanny valley, when at first glance it's OK, but the more you read through the text, the more you notice something is wrong with it. But like said above, many people just don't care if it's that way.
I think it's better to be realistic: what you're describing isn't necessary an inherent feature of AI, but is a technical limitation that will be improved upon with the exponential development this software is seeing. The whole "but it can't do this yet!" mindset is poor cope.
@@tumescent it can do it, but it just needs a bit more attention of the prompter, I saw this ai assistaded art video and honestly it can fool a lot of people
@@tumescent cope harder. The problems with ai have been there for roughly a decade now. Ai still hallucinates and spews out crap all the time. You cannot fix the issue without getting an exponential increase in the amount of good data, combined with a completely redesigned set of training algorithms. And if the ENTIRE INTERNET is not a large enough dataset to make a believable ai, then the problems will simply never be fixed. This isn't to say that ai isnt ever going to be useful, just that we will not in our lifetimes see a self-driving car that doesnt at least sometimes swerve onto sidewalks to mow down children. I pose that it is already useful in the realm of sales and low-level customer support: "hello, thank you, have you tried turning it off and on, we'll go ahead and process that return, please wait while i fetch an actual human being." Same with "watch 50,000 hours of wildlife camera footage, and tell me timestamps when you think you see a bird." Situations where 80% is good enough, and there are humans there to review the data before it goes to the public. Self-driving does not have that extra time before a mistake is made, but a marketing team that just wants to stop wasting brain cells typing "buy now!" might. It will not ever take over high-end design. There are fleetingly few people stupid enough to pay 1,000$ for a stolen painting they know was spewed out by a computer in 2 seconds. But it may be good enough to generate soulless musak, or background pieces.
I work in AI development, I’m also a creative (musician/composer and oil painter). None of the AI products I develop replace people’s jobs, but I know this industry very well … and you are the canary in the coal mine. This is going to affect everyone a lot quicker than they think. My thoughts are that with the devaluing of digital creative art forms, there will be an increase in value on physical art, people will get fatigued with virtual everything and want real art. I suggest developing your physical art skills and selling those products instead (it may need to be a sideline for a while, but will pay off eventually if you’re good). Thanks for sharing your story.
Regulation on AI is urgently needed. If your work trained the AI, you should be forever rewarded for it, each time it is reused, just like actors receive residuals for re-plays of shows/movies EDIT: hey folks, thanks for the likes and comments. Seems like many of the commenters can't be imaginative enough to understand that this proposal is a CHANGE from the actual current law. Yeah, I know that under today's law, "he got paid for the job". I proposed that new regulation changes that. Afterall, he got paid for a single use product, not for the overall availability of the trained AI made with his work. People who think "everything he made while being paid hourly is the companies property" have surely never read a single work contract and never saw sindicates negotiating. Also, so many people seem to be completely appalled by the notion of distributing wealth fairly, as in the simplicity of "who did the work should get the prize". Seriously sad to see.
There is a reason for not imposing regulations on AI, in any country. The places that impose regulations will fall behind compared to those that don't and will lose this AI war. That's why those AI companies have unlimited freedom.
Yeah, it happened to my mate and they cannot do nothing- cannot object as employeer owns what employee did, theres no laws against training someone work into AI, no royalties nothing. Its shite.
Nah fully disagree here. The employer takes a risk every month that the employees are actually providing something useful in return of a salary. So the actual owner of the work is the employer, because they paid for it. So if you are not employing yourself, you are not taking any substantial risks. There is no reward without a risk, and when you are employed, you have minimum amount of risk while the employer has maximum amount of risk.
@@dasjdasjdhasjdhasjdhthat’s true, this being said, if you discover somthing truly ground breaking keep it to yourself leave and patent it and then make them buy it back from you 😂 It’s worked for others in the past. But it’s a gamble lol
I'm 19 and just swapped my major from Computer Science to small business / entrepreneurship. AI will take over every field complicated enough to warrant high pay. The only hope I can see for a somewhat long-term high earning position is a business owner. Everything will be automated within my lifespan.
If the AI was trained on you you should get a royalty on each of that company’s visual communications for life. This absolutely needs to go to the courts.
They would probably claim that the templates he created belong to the company. If you were a freelancer selling designs that's a different story, since you could claim that they are reselling the designs you sold to them.
It's been argued before many a times, employees own nothing they create under company time with company resources. If your doing a side project you have to be careful if you accidently use your company email or laptop for anything they will try and claim it is their and win alot of the time. Used to happen all the time in the 50s and 60s companies like ibm would hire geniuses just to make whatever they wanted but they would claim the rights to it so the genius got nothing... like the creator of the ethernet cable sadly
My cousin dropped out of college from a graphic designer degree because of this AI bullshit .. now he's working with law enforcement. He's not happy, but whenever i go over to help build his pc, he has this amazing artwork on his computer and uses some of his artwork to get tattoos of it. I'm sorry to hear about this
@sketchiefello9002 i dont think anyone would even want to trust ai police, imagine you just get tazed out of nowhere or even shot because it didnt recognise your face or paired it to a mass murderer
Why is it bullshit. It is total fair. Technology is used for everything. If a ai can do the work and do it for free it is simply a no brainer. Yeah it sucks to not work in that field anymore but it is life
I was so hyped up to start learning coding, after many years of back and forth thinking about it, now I'm afraid some AI can just do a month of my work in a day.
I wouldn't worry about that initially. One of the things about AI is that it is extremely capable of writing reasonably small code blocks that look very clean and can be decently complex. The problem is for it to accomplish this, it needs very specific and detailed parameters, and requires a lot of practice writing prompts to get it to do so. If there is anything i've learned programming, is that customers/other departments in the company are horrendous about knowing what they want or how to describe what they want, so coding should be fine for quite awhile. Eventually all jobs where people don't prefer humans will be taken over, but programming pretty farm down on that list.
As a web-dev, yes and no. We use AI constantly at our job but mainly for documentation checking (i work with multiple frameworks that are constantly updated and often work with unfamiliar languages) and simple code blocks (mostly writing tests and double-checking it). At least for now (i guess) AI is not able to work with complex microservices systems (my current job has quite a big system of them), as well as manually checking and understanding what goes inside the code as well. a lot of developers work at my company is not really coding it's working with multiple sides of the systems setup. For example in one day I have to: update values and setup in AWS for new update, release version of code in one part of the project (and those are also made very specific to the company, and documentation for it is actually asking other devs), talking with designer saying what's actually possible with our project, talking with team lead referencing what marketing dept should be providing for our job and maybe at the end of the day I'll do small update in backend service. Don't forget a lot of the times I also might not have access to some projects and need to request it as well👌 Yeah, actually coding for days in current times is only possible in fresh startups (maybe with some exceptions ofc). If you plan to work in an established company with existing projects that are already 5+ years, you'll do MUCH more than just coding, believe me. Remembering, cross-referencing different parts of the project, knowing and partially understanding business goals, assuming user behavior and possible security vulnerabilities all in one is still not really done by AI.
it'll be quite some time before AI can write large programs on it's own. It's very good right now at small code blocks if you ask it simple things, for example asking it the most efficient way to do a certain vectorization on a pandas dataframe or asking it if a certain library has a certain functionality and to show how to use it, but anything more complex or bigger and it starts to fail hard. Even if you start small and ask it to build onto it to add functionality to the program , it starts to fail hard as it just cannot keep track of everything going on in the code. I feel like it will be quite awhile before AI gets actually really good at handling larger programs.
Honestly this might be the absolute best idea, I'm assuming the A.I will lead in the interests of the people because the natural human desire to benefit itself will be gone and hopefully therefore greed.

That's the party he's missing in the presentation, he's thinking about it backwards. He, as a single person with AI, could replace that company you worked for. The unproductive company he worked for is "redundant", he alone could be that entire company now. AI makes us more productive. Boohoo, I used to wash clothes by hand, not with this machine washing my cloths I just feel useless and don't know what to do so I'll keep hand washing clothes and hope someone pays me for being old fashioned and less productive. AI has quirks. AI cannot hold context in chains. If you model something, then want a change, the AI can ONLY make a new image. "My goal is to start a new company". And you haven't done a business plan yet, when the opportunity for a new business has been staring you in the face since AI started in 2015?
@@tyronewashington230 100%. He should quickly seize the opportunity and learn AI ASAP and be the competition on the market. He does not need the company to do all the work, AI will do it for him. He can just be the creative brain behind it with all the new templates and what not. Marketing can be outsourced but with AI, that is becoming easier too.
as someone who is currently studying media and visual arts in Finland, we are already studying graphic design etc with the help of AI, soon enough companies realise they wont have that new creative feel in their ads so they will rehire a graphic designer to work with the AI to make ads etc be good quality and get created faster
Wait until AI gets even better than it already is. Don't pin your hopes on getting rehired. AI is currently not at its best and it is naive to believe it will not get better and fully, irrevocably replace everyone.

yes, to a company its employees are (becoming less of) an incredibly important resource, and one that used to be the only thing keeping a company running
I imagine things will turn out like this for the company: * Collects professionally designed materials. * Trains Ai on the good materials. * Fires the designer. * Encounters issues AI can't solve. * Modifies service offering to work within AI capabilities. * Service becomes stale and generic. * Panics and regrets firing the designer.
As nice as that sounds, it’s not gonna happen. AI is not going to struggle w some kind of imaginary problem in the graphic art process. This isn’t splitting atoms. We’re talking colors and shapes that fit some description here. 😢
Not too long from now, the term "AI" will be roughly equivalent to (and equally laughable as) NFTs or "the metaverse". People will realize AI is just glorified auto-complete. Algorithms will be called algorithms again, machine learning will be called machine learning again, and techbros will start a new cycle of bullshit tech revolution. Hopefully, it will cost less jobs and livelihoods as we become more used to the tactics.
As a filmmaker, photographer, and also minor graphic designer. AI has scared tf out of me for my job prospects. Companies only want minimum wage workers. They complain and make crocodile tears about how they can't find workers, but either they're too picky or no one wants to work for peanuts.
Well, that just how it always have been and how it's always would be. That the way of capitalism. Either blame the one who agree to buy cheep crap from that companies (or work on them) or just work for yourself, become their competitor. And if you failed - well, that's just once again shows that masses don't need a good job, just a bare minimum as well. I still think that biggest problem is not a companies, but consumers.
@@Kibermozgai the consumers are the same employees being payed so little by these companies that they have no other choice than to buy their cheap exploitative products, your logic is completely backwards.

The better strategy would have been to teach nadestraight how to use AI to help him do his job better. Improving his speed would give him time to be more creative thereby elevating the final product sold to the client.
@@bakalakadka Well it seems like the company had a certain benchmark for quality. In fact he himself said that he would have far fewer tasks taking him only 2.5 hours a day to do. So my assumption is. They trained the AI, compared it to his typical output and found the AI good enough. Then they lowered his workload as they could do the typical contracts by AI and then compared the "You have a lot of time to do this work" works to what the AI outputs and found him wanting.

The worst part about this is that the AI used your work to generate the new templates. The company is basically profiting off of you but cutting you out. It's not like in the past when machines would replace factory workers, this is literal art theft. That's horrible and unethical.

@Red_04 This. I feel like going all Luddite and banning AI is a bit much, but also reinforcing job security is very important. There needs to be a middle ground, or we need AI to quickly reach a point where all humans can achieve free welfare so we can do what we want to without worrying about, you know, dying.
its only realistic if you no next to nothing about ai, what it can and cant do, and how it actually works. they didnt replace him with ai. they replaced him with someone that can use ai. they probably arent training a model on his stuff. they have 5 to 6 years of templates. templates are meant to be reused, and generally easy to modify. dudes skillset or lack of became obsolete. its as simple as that. even if they had a perfectly trained model, they still need a graphic designer. period. simple as that.
Also a Graphic Designer/UX-designer/UI-designer and I was just made redundant. For some reason I never thought of AI as a reason for terminating my employment (and the company never made any claims of such) but ofcours it makes me wonder. However I don't fear that the designer role will complete disappear; this might be an early faze where companies are lashing on to this new modern tool, but eventually they see that someone with a trained eye and the ability to evaluate a design is needed. However a lot of jobs that are related to pure production will probably go, so for sure there be less designers needed.
ai can only do so much. it cannot do all the 'non arty' parts of graphic design. OP was just replaced because his skillsets are obsolete and he didnt adapt in time. they dont need to train an ai on him they have 5 to 6 years of templates. templates are made to be reused, and are typically easy to modify. you dont need ai for that. op is high on copium.

I remember 5 or 6 years ago a friend in high school had a presentation about stuff like this, since the theory existed, machine learning existed.

@@lynxwolf7311 sorry but anyone who says life was easier 100 years ago is delusional . Healthcare and Lifespan: 1924: Medical advancements were limited. The average life expectancy in the U.S. was about 58 years for men and 61 years for women. Diseases like tuberculosis, polio, and influenza were major threats, and medical treatments were relatively primitive. Today: The U.S. benefits from cutting-edge medical technology and research. Life expectancy is around 78 years. Advanced medical treatments, widespread vaccination programs, and improved healthcare infrastructure contribute to better overall health and longevity. Economic Conditions and Employment: 1924: The U.S. was experiencing economic growth during the Roaring Twenties, but this was unevenly distributed. Many people, particularly in rural areas, still lived in poverty. Labor laws were less developed, leading to poor working conditions for many. Today: The economy is more diversified and technologically advanced. Although economic inequality remains an issue, social safety nets such as Social Security, unemployment benefits, and other welfare programs provide a buffer. Job opportunities have expanded into new industries, particularly technology and services. Technology and Daily Life: 1924: Life was more physically demanding. Household chores were labor-intensive, and conveniences like refrigerators, washing machines, and central heating were rare. Transportation relied heavily on railroads and automobiles were a luxury for most. Today: Modern technology has significantly eased daily life. Most households have access to a wide range of labor-saving devices and modern conveniences. The internet, smartphones, and advanced communication tools have transformed how people work, communicate, and access information. Social Conditions and Rights: 1924: The U.S. was a segregated society with institutionalized racism and limited rights for women and minorities. Women had only recently gained the right to vote (1920). Labor rights and protections were minimal. Today: There have been major strides in civil rights, gender equality, and social justice. While disparities and discrimination still exist, legal protections and societal attitudes have improved significantly. Movements for equality have led to better representation and opportunities for marginalized groups. Safety and Security: 1924: Public safety and law enforcement were less advanced. The Prohibition era (1920-1933) led to increased organized crime and violence. Public health crises were harder to manage due to limited infrastructure and technology. Today: There have been significant improvements in public safety, law enforcement, and emergency response. While challenges like crime and terrorism remain, the overall ability to ensure public safety has improved. Additionally, modern infrastructure and technology enhance disaster response and management.
I'm sorry this happened to you, I hope you will find a way to adapt in this world that's going to go through some extreme changes. I remember in late 2000s many thought artists would be the least touched by an AI "revolution", crazy how just 10 years later it became obvious we were gravely underestimating our ability to automate with technology. The coming years are sure bound to be one very wild ride.
Just about to do my bachelor's in my design, while trying to focus graphic design, your scaring me bro 😭. Wtf do I do ? Ui ux or product or fashion instead ?

This right here is why artist rebelled on AI generated art all over the place. What these companies are doing is stealing your art and work without any care. This is artistic theft by big corporations. We seriously need to regulate this shit and punish companies that use AI to steal peoples work as a training device. It's scummy, cruel, and ultimately unacceptable.
except in this case they didn't "steal" his work, there's usually a clause in a contract you sign with a company when they hire you for jobs like this stating that all work you produce under them is property of the company. you would know this if you ever had a job
@@gruzi. Yup and still scummy as heck - what sucks is like 99% of companies in this field usually have this type of clause, although usually just being a general "all you create is owned by us" rule, not neccecarily "fixed" on the topic of AI or similar. Problem in this case really seems that the current laws just aren't really up to date yet to handle stuff like "should an ex employee be compensated if his work is reused (even just to train AI)" but I suppose until governments will start to take notice the current market will probably have a few very rough years ahead. Considering most governments are STILL even just learning how the internet works though I can say GOOD LUCK with waiting for that lmao
No one is stealing work. It isn’t scummy or cruel. Just because a better way came about and made artist less valuable doesn’t make it unfair. It is total fair and makes sense for companies and anyone to use Ai as it get better. Just because it sucks doesn’t make it wrong

You can’t replace someone with 20 years of experience in IT with an AI. Yes the AI can probably code something up, but the important parts of being a senior developer is architecture/system design, finding good ways to integrate a system with the rest of the company ecosystem and infrastructure, etc. - there are so many senior IT positions where nobody codes anymore, these will still be needed. If they really replaced him, they probably don’t know what they are doing.
@@MoonShadeStuff many IT departments actually are willing to take destructive risks. When my team reduced in size by half, everyone thought it was "fine" but it literally almost killed a project that had everything - finance, long term vision, support from the management and users. Moreover, before you blame a long term employee - many jobs don't let you develop in such ways. It's quite possible that you will be too busy to start working on new technology, and your company might require you to be on top of your old technology. I've left jobs before just to have time to study new technologies.
This is outrageous. I've always thought that "AI is going to replace our jobs", and yet here we are. Jobless, replaced by an AI that has no soul, no feelings, no complaints.
Well the issue isn't the AI taking jobs, that was always going to be the case, it's the fact the AI displaces far more jobs than it makes and that we have no systems for supporting people without a job. Technology has always replaced jobs with excavators replacing 50 men with a shovel, cars replacing the horse care takers, computers replacing a literal person who was called the computer, etc. The difference is in each of these changes there were more jobs made to offset the loss. Excavators require new factories to build and new specialists to work on. Cars also needed distribution chains, gas stations, repair shops, and general parts production. These devices replaced people but because of their physical nature there were more jobs made in the process. AI is fully digital and barely takes any work to run. There's a few IT guys who do checks of a data center, and that's mostly it.

This seems like a real good way to absolutely skyrocket wealth inequality. If I was on the fence before, I am now convinced that ai is extremely damaging.
@@cloudycolacorp I never understand this. If they know that their silly ideas cause upheaval and destruction, why not just shelf it? Humanity is traditional in nature.

Man, this sucks. People keep telling me I should go into illustration or something, but if people are losing jobs en masse to AI, maybe I really should go with dog training instead… they’ll have to develop mass-market androids to replace that job with AI. :/

I'm very sorry for your situation. You're living what blue collars lived during the last few decades. Some of the workers in my town saw their factory relocated to Romania and Poland, and had to go train the new workers before losing their jobs.
I'm truly sorry to hear about your situation. It's incredibly tough to face such uncertainty, especially after dedicating six years to your job. Remember, your value isn't defined by your employment status. You've gained skills and experiences that can never be taken from you. These will be the tools that help you carve a new path forward. In these three months, consider all the possibilities that lie ahead. Sometimes, the end of one road is just the beginning of another. Your dedication to your family and your career is evident, and that same dedication will see you through this challenging time. Reach out to your network, explore new opportunities, and don't be afraid to step into unfamiliar territory. The world is vast, and your next great adventure awaits. Stay strong. You've got this. 🌟

I'm a lead graphic designer going into year 5 with my company.
Utilizing AI to do our jobs isn't as simple as plug our work in. They can upload work and then try to hamfist the fonts and logos in but it still doesn't come close to good human work.
Your marketing company is funning a failing business the day they fired you. They honestly did you a favor because at the end of the day you don't want to work for such moronic leadership who doesn't understand the value of human design.
AI simply can't ideate and innovate graphic design work. It can only regurgitate what has come before.
Even 6-18 months from now AI still won't replace the industry because they can't solve the creativity problem - unique ideas are a premium in a world of generic AI bullshit.
This is what I was thinking. I was thinking AI might be OK to rapidly prototype/get a general idea quickly but then I would take that and hand it off to a real artist to get a final version. Do you see this as a good use case for AI or what do you see AI being used for in this space effectively?
Yea you are right, in the next 6-18 months. In the next few years? This comment will age like milk. Basically tools will get so good specialised practices are only gonna need couple of designers when before they needed whole teams. Low level design work is already getting fully replaced and they will be gone completely soon.
I see AI increasing incredibly every few months. Soon they will be better than human Graphic designers could ever be.
I'll never unterstand why some graphic artists downplay the impact of AI like "it's just a tool that can help us" etc. when it's absolutely clear that AI will completely replace the whole industry in no time!
The idea that AI can't create new concepts, idea, art, etc. has been thoroughly debunked. They do not simply regurgitate. If you think that, you are years behind the curve.
it is one thing to be replaced by Ai, but its one insane petty shot to be replaced by AI trained on your own work. This is well, Diabolical.

Right now we're using Ai to assist us but it wont be long until clients wont need us. Scary..

The future is the opposite of what AI bros promised: You will do the mundane factory work so robots can create art and music
Actually the future is you will have no work and no income and be left to rot while the elite who control the tech live like gods.
Automation is coming for that too. They already have robots in warehouses hauling things around without humans. They already have robots cleaning floors. They already have general purpose robots that can learn to assemble almost anything a human can and they're only getting better and cheaper. Companies like Palantir and Anduril are working around the clock to integrate AI and robotics into law enforcement and private security too, so soon they won't even need human cops and bodyguards. Once that happens, producing junk for sale won't be a priority, it'll be a scramble for raw material stockpiles, land, and energy production. Neo-feudalism, where the serfs are synthetic.
Unless we do something now 99% of humans are going to go the way of draft horses and mules: steady population decline outside of niche scenarios where they're basically some billionaire's pet or minstrel. The rest will be left to starve or barely scrape by on welfare, with no meaningful way to interact with the markets that survive. Eventually that population trend will reverse, but only once AGI has figured out how to reliably build things like von Braun wheels, Stanford torus', O'Neil cylinders, possibly even McKendree habitats around the Sun. The surviving "Lords", being people like Elon Musk mixed in with dictators like Kim Jong Un, begin building their dozens of heirs private hermit kingdoms on their 16th, 18th, 22nd birthdays or whatever. Imagine North Korea, Turkmenistan, Qatar, Singapore, Eritrea, etc but in a vacuum where dissidents will never be able to leave. Imagine people like Russell M. Nelson or David Miscavige or Jeffrey Epstein getting their own private fief in outer space.
Imagine they get to play with things like CRISPR along with AGI. Nightmare fuel.
nope, the factory work will be automated too (and already partially is). Really all that will be left is handyman kind of jobs, and the trades, since robots cant stroll into someones home and do specific work. at least not yet at least, but I think thats a pretty safe job, would require way too much effort to make a robot that can do that.

Who is going to ship-- yeah... Not so fast, we still gonna do the manual. Although no more dreams of being a full-time artist! yay!! progress.
I feel so much for you man. This is going to be a widespread problem across all of the arts. I work in cinematography myself, and we’re already starting to see the same danger signs pop up in our field. This technology is stealing our careers and our futures from us so that a couple of companies can make a quick and easy buck. It’s disgusting.
I hope you find another career that fulfills you, and I’m sorry that you are going through this.
Soon, this problem will also be in programming.
Guess artists and programmers will have to get off their high horse and learn to drive a truck. 🤷♂️
Personally, as artisan myself(welder/fabricator), I welcome AI, because it will remove the worst jobs, that consist of sitting 8 hours a day in front of monitors.
I can’t wait to spend less time in SolidWorks and more time on shop floor working with my hands.
There's already self-driving trucks. I also don't see why a company wouldn't just invest in 3D printing tools over humans that slowly work with their hands.
I've never once seen artists "on their high horse". If anything, they've always been punching bags for the "get a real job" people. Everyone is in danger of losing their jobs to this tech. The ones you describe are actually the ones already being replaced as we speak. If anything, the art and programming stuff is the second wave, and AGI is the third where NO job is safe.
That is why as artists, we must reject AI at ALL costs! Dont be a cheapskate, and just hire a local artist
@@beanpasteposts well said, I’m not sure where the previous commenter is getting this “high horse” thing, most career artists I know are incredibly humble and professional in their outward approach.
Also, you hit the nail right on the head. No sector is really safe from this technological advancement, so to see others fail to empathize with others and simply shout “get a real job” really frustrates me to no end. We’re in the same boat, my side just has a hole in it.
“At least that’s how it works in the UK”
In Florida we have these wonderful “right to work” laws that allow employers drop you for anything, at any time of the month, without having to pay you anything but the hours you already clocked in. My father in law lost his 30 year old job a few years back and he was shocked at just how immediate unemployment is in our state. You might wonder if we have unemployment insurance, we do! You can get no more $200 a week, and only 20% of applicants actually get it, you also had to be in a full time for 12 months to qualify. Things are great here.
Sorry about your job, best of luck.
So do people just like, end up living on the streets? Or do you guys generally not live paycheck to paycheck? Because if this happened to me, I'd be in debt and lose my house
I can't wait for products to have "human made" stickers.
Everything is human made. No single thing "makes" a whole product. A pencil is wood from one human, graphite from another human, rubber from another human, and metal from another human. Then... a human takes all of these materials from different humans and makes it. Just because they use multiple machines in the process is irrelevant.

It's more the fields hardest to impact are the technical or the ones that require knowhow plus dexterity. Things like streamers and creators are easy to mimic, art follows very basic rules that seem abstract on the surface but are very defined, music is similar, etc.

what you all don't understand is that art and design is not going to vanish for pleasure and art purposes if it is for humans, but in a business sense where its not important if a human is doing the work ai is just fine and will get 100000x better in the next years, so to all jobs in the design etc area as long as you work for business you out of work in the next 3 years latest. Btw for all other jobs as well analyst, consultant, factory worker etc all gone. I think thats good bc I want to go into entrepreneurship wich is one of the jobs that won't go.

This is the beginning of the curve. Soon there will be absolutely no way to tell if something is AI generated or not. Tbh I think that is already true. Creativity will thrive, but as a hobby. Creative jobs will still exist, but it will be the ideas jobs, not the artworking jobs. Those are done.
I have this vision that in the not so far future, the value in art will come from seeing the artist create the art, instead of the art in itself.
I'm a software engineer. AI is not nearly good enough to replace a good designer. Not the ones I've worked with.
Yes, maybe the company just ask him to do very generics templates at his works? Because normally need to talk a lot with a client to get the design he wants if it is about custom design.

You need to think about what you said properly.
The work he was paid to do is the company's property.
that literally isnt what happened. i promise you. what actually happened is they fired him, and hired someone that can do what he does with page layout etc, but who also knows how to use ai. you cannot produce commerical marketing material solely with AI. it cannot place logos and blocks of text for you. you still need a grahpic designer, even with custom trained ai models.
they probably fired him because they want to offer custom tailored graphics, i.e. photos or illustrations, to their clients. he was the only graphic design person doing email and web based marketing materials. he likely wasnt doing much, if any, illustration. running a business in 2024 that relies on google images, pintrest, or stock photo sites (many of which are overloaded with ai images anyway) puts you in at a much lower value to a client that wants tailored graphics.
ive been using ai pretty heavily for 2 years, all different kinds. From disco diffusion to midjourney and dalle 2 and 3, and then running ai locally (on my own computer, no internet required) with stable diffusion through automatic 1111 (a web based ui (web based meaning in your browser, still local no internet) and then through comfyui which is a node graph style system that allows you to build various workflows that do all sorts of crazy shit, while also using ai (stable diffusion). in both still and animated stuff...
and i can tell you, if they had 5+ years worth of his templates, they dont need to train a model on it. Even with the best ai models and techincally skilled users you would still need a graphic designer because AI simply cannot do page layout. it cannot place logos, pictures, or blocks of text where you want it to. and it cant write out those blocks of text as an image.
either this guy is lying, was lied to, or just has no idea what actually happened other than he lost his job and ai was somehow involved.
even if they trained a model on his stuff there would still need a graphic designer.

I finished my Fine Arts degree last year. I knew getting in that it's a very hard career, but I had some hope. On my third year is when AI started to gain traction, and by the end of the fourth it was pretty much fully developed. It devastated me emotionally, I was (and still am) lost. I work as a salesman, and I dread thinking about the future because when I imagine myself doing this for the rest of my life my mind goes to very dark places that I'd rather not go back to. For so many of us, art gives meaning to life, and seeing AI just produce in a matter of seconds stunning work and seeing how amazed everybody is is tough to swallow. I still create for myself, but it feels pointless and meaningless, and it gets worse as every new gadget comes with AI, especially hard for me selling computers and seeing how every brand is hyper focused on implementing AI everywhere.
I've never been impressed by 'Ai' art as it doesn't have the intentionality or the meaning that makes human art interesting, though I know I'm in the minority as even my local art museum has had exhibits on AI art. No one was really interested in it, there was no real story or motivation from the 'artist' they were just framed prints from a generator, a sad time.
I hope you still continue to create art, there will always be a market on the high end, but I have no idea how to break into the 'art basel' crowd.
As a graphic designer myself, I called this over a year ago, and everybody laughed at me
Same
As a person in cybersecurity im scared😰
And then there are those aholes - oh, AI is a TOOL, not a replacement!
I kept trolling artists at the studio with AI creations. Duplicating any task given to them, even though I wasn't assigned to it. Simply showing that AI can do pretty much anything at this point. Any single aspect of work. Just have to search and you'll find it. I still hear "sour grapes" comments, even as my colleagues disappear one by one. Ones who had left are asking if there are any new jobs and nope. Everyone is cutting. Everyone is laying off. Either you keep what you have, or you are already over the edge. If you know AI, you may last a year or two, but eventually AI just does everything. No need for anyone, except the original guy with all the ideas. Like writing a song is done with Suno. You feed a single rhyme and seconds later have a full plot of a story done according to that input direction. A tiny push, and AI does the rest. Does it nearly for free, therefore, even those good at AI can't really make a living. Only the corporations can, who use it to mine for more data and gradually mold personalities of their users into whatever they want. Start using their personal assistants for propaganda to maximize profits and control thought...

I then realized they are fine tuning AI model to replace all translators. At that moment I went back to school and retrained to become an engineer to maintain tools in a semiconductor industry. Today the AI can translate in real time and much better than any human could.
Semiconductor industry is going through a boom now with about $1trillion of subsidies flowing into it. If you guys are looking for a safe job consider semiconductors. Specifically maintenance. Barrier of entry isn't that high. Some basic few months long electrical course is usually enough. Just start with some entry level position like tool installations, get by for a year and then apply for a field service engineer position. Money is good and it's going to be a while before the robots can take over this.
Wonderful advice. Congrats. How's the job security there
@@dougdoug9223 job security is good. They are desperate for people basically. Almost anyone can get a job in this industry right now. Entry level companies like: Kelly Services, MSR-FSR, WGN-STAR all serve gateways to giants like Intel, TSMC, AMAT, TEL, ASM, ASML.
But I wouldn't apply straight to them. Instead start with an entry level position, get clean room experience, upskill even more and then apply to one of the big ones. The pay is good.
What do u mean barrier to entry is low? I'm doing PhD is solid state physics. Its so difficult
@@grad_student for maintenance and especially for tool install the barrier of entry is low.
Money is decent too.
In US 5 figures for entry level and low six figures ~150k for maintenance.
The environment there is clean, dry and warm.
@@grad_student I'm sure you'll find work in research. Companies like Applied Materials are currently desperate for research people.
Here's a tip, when your company was giving 2hr work days, it means that you need to start justifying your work. From the company's POV, they saw you as a senior that wasn't taking initiative to make your pay worthwhile. What you could have done was to request for extra work, discuss with your managers on how you can improve the quality of work, etc.
You said that you were the last graphic designer, presumably, even before AI took off, the company was outsourcing work to cheaper nations. Justifying our higher salaries in today's day and age is absolutely crucial if we still want a decent paying office job.
When you give 6 years to a company and in the end they just fire you without a second thought...
Then they wonder why a lot of people jump jobs a lot. There is no loyalty or security for the average employee, so why should they be loyal back? AI is going to exacerbate this current reality a lot...
Literally as old as time
They have the right to do that
@@sunbleachedangel no. It isn't.
@@sketchiefello9002 you sayin workers used to be more valued in the older days?
Something i thought about the other day is that AI is not sustainable on the bigger scale of an economy
Company fires worker -> replaces worker to save money -> worker is unemployed, so it doesn't earn money and thus loses ability to buy products -> companies see sales decline, which was caused by the initial AI savings
Conclusion is, if no one has jobs, no one earns money, so no one is a potential client for your company's products
even before that, all of these companies firing poeple to give their jobs to AI are basically buying the processing power from only a couple of big, rich corporations, like Microsoft. This is just the honeymoon phase. When the corpo start enshitifying and tightening the screws their "savings" will go straight to Altman and co.
Rinse and repeat. Everything is made up of cycles. Even mankind.
Roman empires economy being dependent on slave labor ran into that very problem, slaves had zero buying power, and rhe work they provided was of zero value. Lack of viable trade lead to a sharp decline in long term stability so the empire had to expand, and expand more, taking from new lands, to keep stable. Once it stopped expanding, it was doomed.
So certainly ai work will have the same effect on the modern economy, itll collapse it.
You don't need to make junk to sell if you own enough land, mineral rights, and so on to be self-sufficient with a mechanized AGI-controlled workforce. Billionaires are already buying up farmland, forests, water rights, mine rights. All over the world. It's one of Saudi Arabia's primary diversification avenues as the royal family looks to a post-oil future.
At that point you can just let the AI-less masses starve. Their money isn't needed.
I think this as well, but believe me, it will only get worse until then.
I just got a degree in graphic design and graduate right as this hit. What a waste of school, I’m now unable to get a job so I’m going to have to work at a fast food and go back to school.
wrong.
i promise you. what actually happened is they fired him, and hired someone that can do what he with photoshop or illustrator or gimp or whatever, but who also knows how to use ai. you cannot produce commerical marketing material solely with AI. it cannot place logos and blocks of text for you. you still need a grahpic designer, even with custom trained ai models.
they probably fired him because they want to offer custom tailored graphics, i.e. photos or illustrations, to their clients. he was the only graphic design person doing email and web based marketing materials. he likely wasnt doing much, if any, illustration. running a business in 2024 that relies on google images, pintrest, or stock photo sites (many of which are overloaded with ai images anyway) puts you in at a much lower value to a client that wants tailored graphics.
ive been using ai pretty heavily for 2 years, all different kinds. From disco diffusion to midjourney and dalle 2 and 3, and then running ai locally (on my own computer, no internet required) with stable diffusion through automatic 1111 (a web based ui (web based meaning in your browser, still local no internet) and then through comfyui which is a node graph style system that allows you to build various workflows that do all sorts of crazy shit, while also using ai (stable diffusion). in both still and animated stuff...
and i can tell you, if they had 5+ years worth of his templates, they dont need to train a model on it. Even with the best ai models and techincally skilled users you would still need a graphic designer because AI simply cannot do page layout. it cannot place logos, pictures, or blocks of text where you want it to. and it cant write out those blocks of text as an image.
either this guy is lying, was lied to, or just has no idea what actually happened other than he lost his job and ai was somehow involved.
even if they trained a model on his stuff there would still need a graphic designer.
Worked as a web dev and had a lot of respect for our designers, this sucks. I'd think if you're the only designer they would keep you just to have you overlook the AI. The companies that stick with people might win out in the long term, but who knows, hope things work out for you.
Dystopian as hell, an AI being trained on your own work to replace you is so downright corpo evil. AI has become another way to replace people who just want a decent job.
A corporation isn't a charity for artists. I don't know why artists feel entiteld to get paid even when they aren't needed.
Training others on your work has always existed, it's called an apprenticeship.
Ah yes, wanting to work for a living, the epitome of entitled. Oh and of course teaching someone a skill is exactly like replacing someone at their job with an AI copy of themself and their lifes work. Its *definitely* a good thing that companies are finding more ways to cut costs and people so that average people have a tougher time making a decent living. What a win for the 1%. Very sane take.

I'm so sorry to hear that this has happened to you and I wish you all the best to come! I'm in my 20s, and I've recently come to terms with the likely fact that my writing degree and how I've planned to apply it are null due to the advancement of AI. What I wanted to do just is not practical anymore, in the long term. It's extremely disheartening to witness what this technology is already doing to us and wonder how many of us will be able to get by in the near future. It's getting harder and harder to find any footing in this world and feel that it's solid
Same here - I began with the idea of going for copywriting or professional writing.
Now midway through the degree, I don't know what to do.
@@MahouKat That was part of my plan, too. I think the best advice one of my writing professors gave me is to find a job outside of writing, since many writing jobs are freelance and not as stable. If you can land a position in the field, though, that's great! I had a hard time but was fortunate enough to find a position as an accounting assistant, and I still write in my free time.
As long as you're still in college and have the ability and means, if you can find anything outside of writing that interests you that could serve as your stabilizer while you pursue what you truly want to do, I highly recommend it. If you need some gen ed courses or electives, those filler 101 or 201 courses can be eye-openers! There may even be a new interest found from an on-campus job. That's how I discovered my interest for accounting, oddly enough.
On the whole, I think it's worth seeing your major through, as writing is still such a crucial and admired skill to have in life. Although I've accepted that a professional writing career may not be in the cards for me, I'll never give it up (it's too fun lol). I could certainly go on, but I'll leave it here.
I wish you well, fellow writer, in all that you do. You and your abilities have value and a place in this ever-confounding world, even if the outcome doesn't quite mirror your ideal vision - it rarely ever does. I don't know you, but I truly believe in you :)
as good as you think ai is, the outputs are still corny. good writers will not be replaceable. That said, there is a lot of shitty writing out there, in major productions. I dont think the risk is any greater that youll be replaced by something that isnt as good as you. It was already pretty massive.
@@pookienumnums I agree! It still has areas to grow for its language to be more fluid. I think that many creative writers like authors, screenwriters, content writers, etc. will be relatively safe. Technical writing positions risk depletion because they may use templates to help them create their products and documents for their clients.
I was talking to a friend who said their company input templates to Chat GPT to help them create new procedures, and it's worked well for them. It's great for them, but that's a tech writer's livelihood, which is where my concern lies, especially since AI has come so far so quickly
AI really is scaring me. I knew a colleague in Amsterdam at a terrible paying restaurant job I quit a week ago, she was also a graphic designer and is now forced to work this job because she doesn't know Dutch. The fact that I witnessed it in real life goes to show its happening everywhere and it's just the start.
I want to study 2D animation but to be honest i'm not so sure it's a good idea anymore.
so learn dutch, it's not that difiicult
For most people, once youve looked at ai-generated stuff for an hour or two, it becomes pretty easy to tell. The problem arises when the higher-ups are so tech illiterate and impervious to learning that they aren't able to notice the difference. But management has ALWAYS been completely oblivious to how the product works. It's nothing new.
The company will just be relegated to the low end of the market. They'll be caught in the middle of a race to the bottom to see who can press the "generate" button the cheapest.
AI may be easy to spot but the truth is more people do not care if it’s easy to spot. Companies want whats cheapest, some companies at first I’d imagine will embrace the flawed look of AI, whilst others will simply pay workers a cheaper wage to correct what AI has generated to make it look authentic.
Not only images, texts are also easily detected. They all have this eerie vibe, like the uncanny valley, when at first glance it's OK, but the more you read through the text, the more you notice something is wrong with it. But like said above, many people just don't care if it's that way.
I think it's better to be realistic: what you're describing isn't necessary an inherent feature of AI, but is a technical limitation that will be improved upon with the exponential development this software is seeing. The whole "but it can't do this yet!" mindset is poor cope.
@@tumescent it can do it, but it just needs a bit more attention of the prompter, I saw this ai assistaded art video and honestly it can fool a lot of people
@@tumescent cope harder. The problems with ai have been there for roughly a decade now. Ai still hallucinates and spews out crap all the time. You cannot fix the issue without getting an exponential increase in the amount of good data, combined with a completely redesigned set of training algorithms. And if the ENTIRE INTERNET is not a large enough dataset to make a believable ai, then the problems will simply never be fixed.
This isn't to say that ai isnt ever going to be useful, just that we will not in our lifetimes see a self-driving car that doesnt at least sometimes swerve onto sidewalks to mow down children. I pose that it is already useful in the realm of sales and low-level customer support: "hello, thank you, have you tried turning it off and on, we'll go ahead and process that return, please wait while i fetch an actual human being."
Same with "watch 50,000 hours of wildlife camera footage, and tell me timestamps when you think you see a bird." Situations where 80% is good enough, and there are humans there to review the data before it goes to the public. Self-driving does not have that extra time before a mistake is made, but a marketing team that just wants to stop wasting brain cells typing "buy now!" might.
It will not ever take over high-end design. There are fleetingly few people stupid enough to pay 1,000$ for a stolen painting they know was spewed out by a computer in 2 seconds. But it may be good enough to generate soulless musak, or background pieces.

None of the AI products I develop replace people’s jobs, but I know this industry very well … and you are the canary in the coal mine. This is going to affect everyone a lot quicker than they think. My thoughts are that with the devaluing of digital creative art forms, there will be an increase in value on physical art, people will get fatigued with virtual everything and want real art. I suggest developing your physical art skills and selling those products instead (it may need to be a sideline for a while, but will pay off eventually if you’re good). Thanks for sharing your story.

Regulation on AI is urgently needed. If your work trained the AI, you should be forever rewarded for it, each time it is reused, just like actors receive residuals for re-plays of shows/movies
EDIT: hey folks, thanks for the likes and comments.
Seems like many of the commenters can't be imaginative enough to understand that this proposal is a CHANGE from the actual current law. Yeah, I know that under today's law, "he got paid for the job". I proposed that new regulation changes that. Afterall, he got paid for a single use product, not for the overall availability of the trained AI made with his work. People who think "everything he made while being paid hourly is the companies property" have surely never read a single work contract and never saw sindicates negotiating.
Also, so many people seem to be completely appalled by the notion of distributing wealth fairly, as in the simplicity of "who did the work should get the prize". Seriously sad to see.
There is a reason for not imposing regulations on AI, in any country. The places that impose regulations will fall behind compared to those that don't and will lose this AI war. That's why those AI companies have unlimited freedom.
Yeah, it happened to my mate and they cannot do nothing- cannot object as employeer owns what employee did, theres no laws against training someone work into AI, no royalties nothing. Its shite.
Nah fully disagree here. The employer takes a risk every month that the employees are actually providing something useful in return of a salary. So the actual owner of the work is the employer, because they paid for it. So if you are not employing yourself, you are not taking any substantial risks. There is no reward without a risk, and when you are employed, you have minimum amount of risk while the employer has maximum amount of risk.

If the AI was trained on you you should get a royalty on each of that company’s visual communications for life. This absolutely needs to go to the courts.
They would probably claim that the templates he created belong to the company.
If you were a freelancer selling designs that's a different story, since you could claim that they are reselling the designs you sold to them.
It's been argued before many a times, employees own nothing they create under company time with company resources. If your doing a side project you have to be careful if you accidently use your company email or laptop for anything they will try and claim it is their and win alot of the time. Used to happen all the time in the 50s and 60s companies like ibm would hire geniuses just to make whatever they wanted but they would claim the rights to it so the genius got nothing... like the creator of the ethernet cable sadly

I was so hyped up to start learning coding, after many years of back and forth thinking about it, now I'm afraid some AI can just do a month of my work in a day.
I wouldn't worry about that initially. One of the things about AI is that it is extremely capable of writing reasonably small code blocks that look very clean and can be decently complex. The problem is for it to accomplish this, it needs very specific and detailed parameters, and requires a lot of practice writing prompts to get it to do so. If there is anything i've learned programming, is that customers/other departments in the company are horrendous about knowing what they want or how to describe what they want, so coding should be fine for quite awhile. Eventually all jobs where people don't prefer humans will be taken over, but programming pretty farm down on that list.
As a web-dev, yes and no. We use AI constantly at our job but mainly for documentation checking (i work with multiple frameworks that are constantly updated and often work with unfamiliar languages) and simple code blocks (mostly writing tests and double-checking it).
At least for now (i guess) AI is not able to work with complex microservices systems (my current job has quite a big system of them), as well as manually checking and understanding what goes inside the code as well. a lot of developers work at my company is not really coding it's working with multiple sides of the systems setup. For example in one day I have to: update values and setup in AWS for new update, release version of code in one part of the project (and those are also made very specific to the company, and documentation for it is actually asking other devs), talking with designer saying what's actually possible with our project, talking with team lead referencing what marketing dept should be providing for our job and maybe at the end of the day I'll do small update in backend service. Don't forget a lot of the times I also might not have access to some projects and need to request it as well👌
Yeah, actually coding for days in current times is only possible in fresh startups (maybe with some exceptions ofc). If you plan to work in an established company with existing projects that are already 5+ years, you'll do MUCH more than just coding, believe me. Remembering, cross-referencing different parts of the project, knowing and partially understanding business goals, assuming user behavior and possible security vulnerabilities all in one is still not really done by AI.
Don't learn to code. Learn no code tools.
it'll be quite some time before AI can write large programs on it's own. It's very good right now at small code blocks if you ask it simple things, for example asking it the most efficient way to do a certain vectorization on a pandas dataframe or asking it if a certain library has a certain functionality and to show how to use it, but anything more complex or bigger and it starts to fail hard. Even if you start small and ask it to build onto it to add functionality to the program , it starts to fail hard as it just cannot keep track of everything going on in the code. I feel like it will be quite awhile before AI gets actually really good at handling larger programs.

Most clients don't seek something elevated, they want generic and fast @@bakalakadka
@bakalakadka they know the are toast. It would be a losing battle. I will be shorting companies like this.
@@bakalakadka Well it seems like the company had a certain benchmark for quality.
In fact he himself said that he would have far fewer tasks taking him only 2.5 hours a day to do.
So my assumption is. They trained the AI, compared it to his typical output and found the AI good enough.
Then they lowered his workload as they could do the typical contracts by AI and then compared the "You have a lot of time to do this work" works to what the AI outputs and found him wanting.
LOVE seeing this video blow up on your channel. I also am a graphic designer and have been professionally since 2014.

@@muslimtomcruise most of employment contracts have a condition which basically implies that everything you create while working for the company belongs to the employer, which makes sense from the business point of view. But it clearly sucks when it is utilized the way it was in this guy's case.
Good thing me and my military bros working on a AI problem than. ^^
That can combat 'em all ~

@@muslimtomcruise It depends on the contract he has. Generally companies say that anything you produce during your work time belongs to them.
bro, AI was supposed to give us more time for art, not TAKE IT AWAY FROM US
Not under capitalism.
He certainly has more time now.
Art for the purpose of expressing yourself is still only reserved for humans. Sadly art as a job or a way to get money, that is what ai is replacing.
@@zagreus5773 At least under communism, AI would give us more time to farm potatoes for our glorious supreme leader

The worst part about this is that the AI used your work to generate the new templates. The company is basically profiting off of you but cutting you out.
It's not like in the past when machines would replace factory workers, this is literal art theft. That's horrible and unethical.
Major ethical violation for sure. Situations like this make me happy my school requires all students to take a relevant ethics course. AI has been a huge topic of discussion in them recently, especially Cyber Ethics.
Well, I assume that his work belongs to the company, so I see no ethical issue.
@@HaHa-sm1jk
No legal issue you mean. The law and ethics don’t always match up.
His completed works, yes. But his art style and vision is his alone. Replicating his artistic style while not paying him is ethically wrong
@@HaHa-sm1jkLegally, that may be how things work, but it completely goes against general ethics to have someone unknowingly create a tool that mimics their work and then fire them.
thought it was going to be some sort of tech job but when I heard graphic design my heart sank because thats exactly what im doing now
Its really awesome to see the job I've wanted all my life is now basically unfeasible
This _is_ the job I've had for half of my working career. It's what I went to college to learn. I really really don't want to have to go back to the courier industry.

This video is legitimately terrifying. You talk about this so personally yet so nonchalantly, and I've never felt so unnerved from such a laid back video. All other videos I've seen discussing AI taking jobs are all so detached and objective, but this feels so personal and relatable. I know that wasn't your intention, but you gave me a huge reality check. I hope you get back into a well-paying graphic design company soon.
Protest against AI, start pushing for a ban
As another brit, not even being funny but this is a very common style of venting for us, so many heart to hearts with my mates sound like this. The voice is matter of fact, but they are hurting.
@@JohnnyCrypto789 A ban is a bit much, especially when it's an incredibly useful tool. What should be done is ensuring job security, implementing laws that prohibit replacing workers with AI (just like how in the US you "can't" get fired for discriminatory reasons) or through some other method.
@Red_04 This. I feel like going all Luddite and banning AI is a bit much, but also reinforcing job security is very important. There needs to be a middle ground, or we need AI to quickly reach a point where all humans can achieve free welfare so we can do what we want to without worrying about, you know, dying.
@@Red_04 But the employee could very well use AI themselves. And so... everyone could be a graphic designer and finish a project in seconds...
I appreciate your transparency with this! It's very realistic and potentially the outcome of a many career changes in the immediate future.
its only realistic if you no next to nothing about ai, what it can and cant do, and how it actually works. they didnt replace him with ai. they replaced him with someone that can use ai. they probably arent training a model on his stuff. they have 5 to 6 years of templates. templates are meant to be reused, and generally easy to modify. dudes skillset or lack of became obsolete. its as simple as that. even if they had a perfectly trained model, they still need a graphic designer. period. simple as that.
Also a Graphic Designer/UX-designer/UI-designer and I was just made redundant. For some reason I never thought of AI as a reason for terminating my employment (and the company never made any claims of such) but ofcours it makes me wonder. However I don't fear that the designer role will complete disappear; this might be an early faze where companies are lashing on to this new modern tool, but eventually they see that someone with a trained eye and the ability to evaluate a design is needed. However a lot of jobs that are related to pure production will probably go, so for sure there be less designers needed.
ai can only do so much. it cannot do all the 'non arty' parts of graphic design. OP was just replaced because his skillsets are obsolete and he didnt adapt in time. they dont need to train an ai on him they have 5 to 6 years of templates. templates are made to be reused, and are typically easy to modify. you dont need ai for that.
op is high on copium.
It kind of scares me because of how quickly this started, only like 2 years ago I was thinking "yeah robots probably won't replace our jobs anytime soon" and now we get THIS happening to people around the world, it's a surreal reality to suddenly live in
We truly do live in a boring dystopia
I remember 5 or 6 years ago a friend in high school had a presentation about stuff like this, since the theory existed, machine learning existed. Hardware stagnated (cpu's and gpus have hit their physical limits years ago) so that was never an issue.
I blame the pandemic for why it took 6 years for us to realise what's happening. Those 2 years were basically a pause button for our lives.
Its not a dystopia lmao😂
@@totallynuts7595 2019, when I started at my current company, was the first time ever I'd heard about AI being actually used in real programming, not just as a crazy sci-fi idea. That was five fucking years ago.

30 year vet of photography and video. Everyone will feel what photographers have been feeling for the last decade. Best of luck to all creators, artists and tech. When everyone is out of work who will buy anything? Something will give.
We won't buy anything, the secret hope is that we'll all just starve. The only people the truly rich actually need are blue-collar workers (and engineers and scientists to some extent). So long as there's enough people to sustain their lives, no one else matters, particularly because the population of this planet is out of control anyways. We'll get that Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space future (without the communism part clearly), but what most people don't understand is that it isn't for us. Most of us are middlemen, dead weight. Back to serfdom for anyone deemed useful.
The economic singularity, predicted by those filthy Marxists over a century ago, capitalism will get so advanced and so productive that it will destroy itself in the process, it's situations like this that breed revolutions etc.
Given how the student loan discourse is, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help!" will be the answer and death nail.
Eventually it will get so bad that when everything crashes down, only strong independent creators like yourself or upcoming talent will be able to lift things back up. Feels like a "things get worse before they get better" situation to me.

Healthcare and Lifespan:
1924: Medical advancements were limited. The average life expectancy in the U.S. was about 58 years for men and 61 years for women. Diseases like tuberculosis, polio, and influenza were major threats, and medical treatments were relatively primitive.
Today: The U.S. benefits from cutting-edge medical technology and research. Life expectancy is around 78 years. Advanced medical treatments, widespread vaccination programs, and improved healthcare infrastructure contribute to better overall health and longevity.
Economic Conditions and Employment:
1924: The U.S. was experiencing economic growth during the Roaring Twenties, but this was unevenly distributed. Many people, particularly in rural areas, still lived in poverty. Labor laws were less developed, leading to poor working conditions for many.
Today: The economy is more diversified and technologically advanced. Although economic inequality remains an issue, social safety nets such as Social Security, unemployment benefits, and other welfare programs provide a buffer. Job opportunities have expanded into new industries, particularly technology and services.
Technology and Daily Life:
1924: Life was more physically demanding. Household chores were labor-intensive, and conveniences like refrigerators, washing machines, and central heating were rare. Transportation relied heavily on railroads and automobiles were a luxury for most.
Today: Modern technology has significantly eased daily life. Most households have access to a wide range of labor-saving devices and modern conveniences. The internet, smartphones, and advanced communication tools have transformed how people work, communicate, and access information.
Social Conditions and Rights:
1924: The U.S. was a segregated society with institutionalized racism and limited rights for women and minorities. Women had only recently gained the right to vote (1920). Labor rights and protections were minimal.
Today: There have been major strides in civil rights, gender equality, and social justice. While disparities and discrimination still exist, legal protections and societal attitudes have improved significantly. Movements for equality have led to better representation and opportunities for marginalized groups.
Safety and Security:
1924: Public safety and law enforcement were less advanced. The Prohibition era (1920-1933) led to increased organized crime and violence. Public health crises were harder to manage due to limited infrastructure and technology.
Today: There have been significant improvements in public safety, law enforcement, and emergency response. While challenges like crime and terrorism remain, the overall ability to ensure public safety has improved. Additionally, modern infrastructure and technology enhance disaster response and management.
I'm sorry this happened to you, I hope you will find a way to adapt in this world that's going to go through some extreme changes.
I remember in late 2000s many thought artists would be the least touched by an AI "revolution", crazy how just 10 years later it became obvious we were gravely underestimating our ability to automate with technology. The coming years are sure bound to be one very wild ride.
this is a troubling video to stumble across when i just finished my first year of college for graphic design
Honestly, change it!
Check which fields were "essential" during the pandemic, and focus on looking for something matching your intrests.
This really is the canary in the coal mine.
Word of advice: RUN!!
Just about to do my bachelor's in my design, while trying to focus graphic design, your scaring me bro 😭. Wtf do I do ? Ui ux or product or fashion instead ?
eventually we'll have legislation for AI replacing jobs/making people redundant likely. unemployment is a problem for the governments around the world so if it spikes, they'll look into it and figure out that AI replacing jobs is not a good thing for the economy lol
This right here is why artist rebelled on AI generated art all over the place. What these companies are doing is stealing your art and work without any care. This is artistic theft by big corporations. We seriously need to regulate this shit and punish companies that use AI to steal peoples work as a training device. It's scummy, cruel, and ultimately unacceptable.
except in this case they didn't "steal" his work, there's usually a clause in a contract you sign with a company when they hire you for jobs like this stating that all work you produce under them is property of the company. you would know this if you ever had a job
But they pay salary
@@gruzi. Yup and still scummy as heck - what sucks is like 99% of companies in this field usually have this type of clause,
although usually just being a general "all you create is owned by us" rule, not neccecarily "fixed" on the topic of AI or similar.
Problem in this case really seems that the current laws just aren't really up to date yet to handle stuff like
"should an ex employee be compensated if his work is reused (even just to train AI)" but I suppose until governments will start
to take notice the current market will probably have a few very rough years ahead.
Considering most governments are STILL even just learning how the internet works though I can say GOOD LUCK with waiting for that lmao
No one is stealing work. It isn’t scummy or cruel. Just because a better way came about and made artist less valuable doesn’t make it unfair. It is total fair and makes sense for companies and anyone to use Ai as it get better. Just because it sucks doesn’t make it wrong
@@Steven-uy8piisn’t scummy at all. Do you know what a job is? A person or company pays you X amount of money for you to do a thing or things. You totally willing and by your own admission agree to the deal and work for the company or person. People like you are why today is so stupid they see companies and don’t think just say “ company BAD because company”
Feel so sorry for you man.
I was so lucky, I’m 55 years old now and I’ve been a graphic designer since my mid 20s, it’s all I know how to do and the only thing I’m good at.
Unfortunately those days are over.
My 2 sons wanted to do my job but I’ve advised them to steer clear of it, this job has no future.
I get by on freelance work, and I have a design job but I don’t know how long it will last, probably a couple more years.

Thank you :)
Also lost my job to AI as a creative in film. You're not alone.
In film?? They really aren't that good yet, how?
Mind if I ask specifically what happened? Trying to gauge whether or not I should jump ship from art rn and go into medical or something else that will zap the life out of me.
Engineering is probably the best along with business. Personally I think electrical engineering is a good choice cuz u can make hardware for software like AI or machine learning or something else.
@@cozycarryyou just dont know
@@localkate I feel like this shouldn't happen cos its not the point that AI creates art or imitates it, Art is meant to be a human thing that we create and can relate too, if you see someone emotion in a film you can feel with that person but if its just a robot imitating the facial expressions it doesn't work
I went to school for 3D art and visual effects, and decided to walk away from employment in that industry and instead follow my Father's footsteps in carpentry and general contracting. For multiple years I felt a lot of regret of giving up on an art career, but recently I see just how blessed I was for walking away and being the son of a carpenter.
I wish you the best my man.
Maybe it's time to leave my industry too and become a mechanic. I like cars
I'm still gonna pursue art. I love it to much, and there's still tons of people who refuse to use ai work / companies who will get cancelled if they get caught ysing it. So.
I would rather be a freelancer too
Currently studying software development, and boy do I feel that as well.
AI is now getting trained to do all the work programmers usually do. Even if there's that question that asks "If AI steals our (programmers) jobs, who will build the other AI?", it still makes me worried about all the corporations and companies replacing valued employees for a bunch of strings and if statements.

You can’t replace someone with 20 years of experience in IT with an AI. Yes the AI can probably code something up, but the important parts of being a senior developer is architecture/system design, finding good ways to integrate a system with the rest of the company ecosystem and infrastructure, etc. - there are so many senior IT positions where nobody codes anymore, these will still be needed. If they really replaced him, they probably don’t know what they are doing.
@@MoonShadeStuff many IT departments actually are willing to take destructive risks. When my team reduced in size by half, everyone thought it was "fine" but it literally almost killed a project that had everything - finance, long term vision, support from the management and users.
Moreover, before you blame a long term employee - many jobs don't let you develop in such ways. It's quite possible that you will be too busy to start working on new technology, and your company might require you to be on top of your old technology. I've left jobs before just to have time to study new technologies.
This is outrageous. I've always thought that "AI is going to replace our jobs", and yet here we are. Jobless, replaced by an AI that has no soul, no feelings, no complaints.
Well the issue isn't the AI taking jobs, that was always going to be the case, it's the fact the AI displaces far more jobs than it makes and that we have no systems for supporting people without a job. Technology has always replaced jobs with excavators replacing 50 men with a shovel, cars replacing the horse care takers, computers replacing a literal person who was called the computer, etc.
The difference is in each of these changes there were more jobs made to offset the loss. Excavators require new factories to build and new specialists to work on. Cars also needed distribution chains, gas stations, repair shops, and general parts production. These devices replaced people but because of their physical nature there were more jobs made in the process. AI is fully digital and barely takes any work to run. There's a few IT guys who do checks of a data center, and that's mostly it.

*This sh!t is scary*
I'm in a similar situation (working in advanced document editing and graphic design for a big company, with a very good salary), except that I still have my job. I discuss this regularly with some of my colleagues from support staff (secretaries, etc) and most of them don't seem to see what's currently happening and how the situation will worsen VERY quickly.
In my case, I don't really know what to do as I've built my career in a specific niche (I'm 46 years old, and worked my a$$ off to get where I am). I have a mortgage and and two kids to feed: I litterally can't afford to take a minimum wage job, as I would end up in the streets with my kids. I've tried to get into several things aside from my job (working as a freelance, going into crypto, etc) but nothing has paid off so far. Tough times ahead.
This seems like a real good way to absolutely skyrocket wealth inequality. If I was on the fence before, I am now convinced that ai is extremely damaging.
Of course, when AI is done replacing everything, the only classes left will be billionaires and vagrants.
It's like rich people are on a speedrun of getting eaten. No wonder they're all investing in luxury apocalypse bunkers.

I never understand this.
If they know that their silly ideas cause upheaval and destruction, why not just shelf it?
Humanity is traditional in nature. If they don't push this, nobody will. So they could easily create eternal low-rebellion rulership heaven for themselves.
But the way they go, they keep shooting themselves in the foot for no reason.
Wait until the AI decides who lives and who dies. If you’re afraid now, your not scared enough.
The solution to that is to simply pirate AI. Someday ain’t nobody gonna own it.
Man, this sucks. People keep telling me I should go into illustration or something, but if people are losing jobs en masse to AI, maybe I really should go with dog training instead… they’ll have to develop mass-market androids to replace that job with AI. :/
