Will AI End Creative Professions?

Basically whoever gets in front of the race wins everyone else suffers 😢

What a bleak future. I guess it's back to McDonald's for most people. 😅

Chris Do never completely resonates with me as he never understands the position of privilege he has 🙄

Will AI End Creative Professions? The real answer is that nobody knows. Not even you !

Honestly, this AI is going to destroy a lot of jobs and not just in the creative industry.

I take this as: change is inevitable. So no matter how much we hate something we have to adapt and keep moving or accept our fate. Sucks that this exists but we’ll have to learn about it to grow I suppose.

Short answer: AI is going to become the new bottom line. Don't be average, because AI will outpace you.

"For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what little he does have shall be taken away."
Matthew 25:29

A.I. will increase the gap to the point where it will become almost impossible for the little guy to catch up.

Do graphic designers not have passion projects that you do on your own time that have no monetary incentives? I think if you don't have this type of work as a foundation of your practice you are already the AI.

Yes, yes & yes....

This is very much like rich people saying "money doesn't buy happiness" and attractive people saying "looks don't matter"

This one was kinda meh

AI is the bear, dont be the slowest person 👌

And its crazy the feeling the chills the urgency the passion integrity empowering crazy.. So happy saw your channel.

Yeah yeah thats why take me too much time til realize everything even you have your robort with no clear goals you still be at the bottom

Quite insightful. However, I don't think Mr. Do quite understands the position of the entry level designer who just entered the market. He's a big shot, he probably won't even feel the aftermath of this whole thing.

Amazing stuff Chris :)

bah....clients will always need help. There will always be people willing to pay someone else to do work. Even if Alexa can do X there will always be a wall that Alexa needs help getting over it. You know - I was once a directory assistance operator. That job is gone, but that is okay - it was a crap job. I guess my point is that the world is constantly changing and in ways that aren't always going to be predictable, but that's okay - change can be good. Don't fear the change, just embrace learning and evolving and if you can do that then you will always be adaptable and survive.

Dang, that guy asking the question is really handsome

This a part of why in general I'm retraining to do something unrelated to and well away from design - something more practical and long term wheras in design I have to seemingly keep reinventing myself every 3-5 years desperately trying to keep up with new trends, tech and younger minds.

It's not so much AI now that worries me, it's what it'll be like in 10, 15, 20 years.

Chat, don't kill my job or whatever Kendrick Lamar said

btu funny video. though

we need also more real intelligence

2 decades ago 'tut plus' website came out teaching people how to create magical effects with Photoshop. People were complaining. "Now regular people will be able to design their own stuff" EXACTLY. SO.... ARE YOU JUST EXTORTING MY SKILL GAP OR ARE YOU TRULY ADDING AN EXTENSION OF VISION AND POSSIBILITY?

Think of how terrified portrait artists must have been of photographers. "You can do what takes me weeks in a single flash and all you have to do is point and press that button protrusion."

Calling it now. "AI is the bear, don't be the slowest person" is gonna be the new "Adapt or die" mantra. I was hoping this video would put me at ease, as I'm watching the tech industry make an AI that does everything I love (art, design, 3D modeling, hell even coding), but it didn't. In fact, no offense, Chris, but the tone came off as condescending. Like the whole, "Well, you're gonna die one day, right?" comment. Yeah, one day I'll happily leave this planet, but I don't want to leave a mess for the next person to pick up. I want Gen Z and Gen Alpha to inherit a healthy planet and system where they can pursue what they love, without worrying that a company is gonna lay them off, and under pay some gig designer or artist to punch up whatever the AI spat out.

Look at the Writer's strike that's going on now. Media execs desperately want an AI to do anything and everything, so they can pay fewer people less money, or pay no one at all. I believe AI can help us in so many ways, but right now, its main purpose is to maximize profits. AI SHOULD be used as a tool, and it SHOULD be used to help humanity for the better. Because here's the thing, community has and always will be stronger than profits, and I'd rather uplift communities than become the next Beff Jezos.

If AI is the bear, I'm throwing some fish at it so we can all get away.

He solved nothing with this video

The question is where are business people turning to AI instead of dealing with creatives. One answer could be that business people could pivot a project quicker if dealing with licensed work.

ChatGPT/Open AI, Claude, and all of the other similar models popping up are not true AI. They are language models (LLM).

They don't possess true intelligence (though they can appear to act intelligently). Still, they're not actually Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Instead, ChatGPT serves the same purpose as a calculator. It may be an advanced and sophisticated technology, but at its core it still just functions as a word calculator.

But instead of calculating numbers, ChatGPT calculates the next word/phrase/code (based on the data they have access to — the internet).

As creatives, our prompts (the more detailed the better) are key in getting large language models (LLM) to make good content. Thats because LLM’s are unable to actually understand the meaning of the text they are scanning. Instead, they’re just parroting out calculated phrases based on the parameters we gave it (aka prompts).

The more detailed your prompt, the better the LLM’s output.

Basically, this so-called ‘AI’ is simply a digital tool than an actual true artificial intelligence.

Using ChatGPT is more like a human wearing a robotic arm prosthetic, than something out of I-Robot. It simply augments creativity, the same way a prosthetic arm augments human movement.

One day, someone will create an actual AGI that sits on top of a LLM. That will be the true AI breakthrough.

But ChatGPT? It’s simply a tool…a fantastic tool, but a tool none the less.

"AI is the bear. Don't be the slowest person" is precisely what's scary because established corporations, people like Chris Do or the Art Director who asked the question have a headstart and are faster than those of currently starting out. Hard times ahead for most.

I was laid off my corp video editing and motion graphics job last week.

Love this channel, but not sure about this video. It lacks empathy as it's defined in the UX world.

It's hard for new design folks and will probably become harder. The ones that have already been in the game for a decade plus, have already their network have already made it like Chris, yes those AI tools will make them more productive.

But how is it for folks who just finished uni or a design bootcamp and are now trying to find some entry level jobs. I can see fewer level entry jobs being available, as mid to senior design folks will be more productive using these AI tools. I hope I'm wrong.

Also the metaphor of AI being the bear. Why do we have to invoke images of death, that some folks will be eaten and perpetuate the zero sum game model?

Rather we should look at our current system and re-design it so it meets the needs or our society and people living in it and not move close to Elysium.

I know it's not Chris' job to redesign the system ;)

If you are an artist with a very unique design/art identity, own that, trademark that, copyright that or what ever laws needed to protect you and your art from being stolen or used without permission. And that's the only way you will be protected against this AI company.

I made a Do bot months ago. I have bots for all the top copywriters, strategists, and agencies. It amazes me but also everyone will know how to utilize these tools soon enough and when that happens idk what I’ll do 🫠 lol but I do agree the best skill you can have is your ability to talk (prompt) the different models. Input and feedback make a major difference in the quality of outputs a bot can generate.

this is a winning attitude

OMG! "DoBot"! that is EPIC!

Basically, those that also learn prompt engineering along with having great skills sets will succeed in this ai era.

Please see the Adam Conover interview with Timnit Gebru and Emily Bender for more information and context on the matter

Well in gaming there is a term for those using ai to be assisted...

When you have a clear goal you magnetize yourself. The means and the method will materialize...

very funny, a "designer" talking about creativity whereas post only bussiness, customer and money video

My biggest issue as a creative working in the social media era is the scale of the projects I want to undertake. They take a long time to see through without having the resources available of a wider team.

What I'm finding now, is I no longer need to browse endless tutorials and webpages to find the information I need to progress, chatGPT will give me what I need and even help me understand why I need it to solve specific problems.

Allowing me to focus on the aspects I enjoy like mapping the overall vision.

Really exciting time, I'm developing at a much quicker rate thanks to these tools.

I was the 666th person to like.😇

Okay i totally agree with mr.Chris and that is Yes! One day day A.i will takeover jobs of all creative job. it's didn't cost learning something new and growing even right now I'm learning drawing for children book illustration and comic book artist as well as graphic design even my mentor who guide me about drawing. He even tell me the same thing that chirs says in this video.

And if you ask me do we need to scared of A.I then my answer will NO! But why ? Because All A.I is built to work with us as tool. Even it makes wonderful logo it doesn't have emotions to understand psychology behind emotions and brands so no A.i will work with us as a tool

Chris Do has done amazing things for creatives. But his answers here smack of someone who's already made it and isn't really considering how this will affect those who aren't in a similar position.

The truth is that people who are already in a great position skill-wise and financially will leverage AI to scale output, expand offers, create new offers, etc. But those who aren't on that level will essentially be cut out of the game by AI. And as AI continues to proliferate, upward mobility will begin to disappear.

Make no mistake: this IS a black swan event, and it's the biggest one in history. Don't let anyone play it off. This is for real, and the big players will be the ones who ultimately benefit.

Hey Chris Do team, love the video🔥
I was hoping to get some advice, if that's sound with you.

So I have this client I've been trying to work with for a couple months now.

They recognize the value in what we are offering to them and they've personally used our product, as we have gifted them multiple times. Out of good will of course.

I can safely say, we provided value first and showed them how we can be of value to them.

But they just won't decide to buy or not. I'm regularly checking in and asking questions hoping it will lead to answers but no sir, they don't give us the time of day.

So what do you recommend & how would you diagnose this problem?

At the first glance AI generated images are cool and stunning, but they don't have meaningful message in them and they do not give us an emotional impact because robot are not human, I would say yes AI can take over jobs focus on repetition tasks so designers can have more time to focus on the creative part 🤪

Don't delete this video and lets see what hes saying in 2 years.

How is it democratization if some can get left behind?
