Anyone else noticing generative AI creeping into creative workflows—sometimes instead of collaboration?
I have a good amount of experience creating key images or mockups with Adobe and Figma. Lately, I’ve seen CDs and senior copywriters use genAI tools instead of looping me in.
And it just looks off. Fake logos, weird brand colors, uncanny valley stock people. And I honestly think I could’ve done better if they'd just asked.
Anyone else seeing this? How do you handle it?

Private sector job will pay 35,000 more but will be 3 hrs away my husband is in law enforcement and can’t leave due to his position. Concerns are: private sector and when recession hits, it’s construction, away from hubby
