Do you think AI will change employment more than people admit?

[Brittle Ronan]

The useful stuff is harder to find because there is so much noise around it.

The honest question is whether it is changing how you work or just adding a step.

I have seen conflicting advice elsewhere and wanted to get a more grounded take on it.

What I really want to know is what someone would do if they were starting from scratch knowing what they know now.

Appreciate any honest input

That is exactly it. I know exactly what you mean.

Cheers for sharing

Yeah that is about right. Ha, fair enough.

Most AI tools I have tried are impressive for a session and then disappear from my routine

The creative industries are going to be particularly interesting. AI can produce illustrations, music, scripts and advertising concepts at astonishing speed, but producing something technically competent isn't necessarily the same as creating something memorable.

Clients still need taste, originality, cultural awareness and someone who understands what they are actually trying to communicate. Those qualities are harder to measure than output volume, which is probably why they get overlooked in these discussions.

My advice to creatives would be to experiment with AI as part of the process while developing a recognisable personal style. Learn the tools, but don't let the tools become your entire identity. Nobody needs another thousand identical AI-generated posters!
