This is maybe the clearest example I’ve ever seen of why you keep non-creative people away from creative decision making
I’m all for Caleb Williams as the Madden cover, but my God this shit is ass.
How fucking uncreative can you possibly be?
ChatGPT did this in 12 seconds, you’re telling me we couldn’t have some graphic designers on payroll do better than a stock photo of Caleb?
Do better.

It’s true and it’s all from accounts with no inkling into the process or needs of professional creative work. Just sensational tweets to engagement farm.
The irony is how these very accounts are actually liable to be redundant by increased automated ai social content
I've nothing against people impressed with new tech - but people who actively goes out of their way to scaremonger & pester *check notes* graphic designers?? How does writing "your career is over - take the L bro" benefit your day lmaooo?
I understand when shameless Ai-grifters (who desperately wants to make money) does it, but why are you as regular human seething at the thought of people having a creative job?

So many of these ChatGPT graphics look like sports designs from 2015 😂
The tools are easy to access, taste is still an exclusive club

I’m all for calling out bad ai use, but calling it out when it’s being used in conjunction with a skilled designer that knows what they’re doing is silly.
This stance will turn into this generations grandad shaking their fist angrily at a newspaper article about the internet
It's not even the right texture, and the web-shooter is wrong.
Since when did you start using that tool?

When brands use ai like this it reaffirms my thought that in a world where anyone can technically produce graphics/animations, what will become most valuable is your personal taste and style as a creative.
On top of your ability to be able to produce the content.

I like the new Magic logo overall, it’s fine… Safe.
But this circle logo NBA trend is exactly what happens when c-suiters, that use terms like ‘ROI, KPI and Sales funnel’ daily, get final say on creative choices! 😂

One of the most accurate things I’ve read!
Clients want creative that’s solves a problem AND still drives engagement.
Pure viral bait posts are cool for personal use, but will rarely be what you’re hired to do.
26 May 2025
If you’re a younger designer on Twitter, don’t be fooled: 80% of the people posting viral shit on this platform are absolutely unhireable. Don’t aspire to be like them.
