A comment on I Am Tired of AI. Parent comment
I was speaking to a design lecturer the other evening. His fascinating insight was that:
1. The best designers get so much fulfilment out of practicing the craft of design.
2. With the advent of low cost “impression making”, the role has changed to one of “review a lot of mediocre outputs and pick the least crap one”
3. This is robbing people of the pleasure and reward associated with craftsmanship.
I have noted this is applicable so many other crafts, and it’s really sad!
Edited afterthought… Is craftsmanship being replaced by “clickandreviewmanship”?
