You can’t stop the ai excitement. So many wonderful tools, now I can be a Creative Director, a photographer, a copywriter and more. So exciting. The possibilities are endless. The landscape is changing sure, but advertising is fun again.

I’ve got the bmw and the joy! The issues of young creatives trying to break into the business are about the wfh culture and ai. And the holding company model being broken. A young person won’t have this perspective, but where we are now has been coming since the very first client said “huh, a web banner? I can make that myself so it must take you like, what 10 minutes?” And thus the race to the bottom began.

Did an AI write this post

Nope

this is NOT what makes a creative director. your an AI prompter. A creative director has mastery over those tools. relying on AI for these things is fools gold

Nope, still not getting it. No one is rejecting AI. We use it! AI is not the issue. Many clients like to spend money on production and they even, get this, give you a budget before you begin! Crazy right? These billion dollar corporations actually give you money to produce work. You learn something new every day if you just listen.

So let me get this straight: you are excited that you could generate a fake crowd of ppl at a fake rally/protest with someone holding a fake sign? My person, this is exactly what AI should NOT be used for. Do you really want to provide fodder for Trump and his minions making claims that Vice President Harris is using AI to generate fake crowds at her events? Find some other sandbox to play in, politics and democracy is in desperate need of more truth, not falsehoods and "alternative facts".

Anybody in the same boat?
Did anyone get the email asking to send the passport for stamping?
