Honestly, the only parts I’ve felt as if AI has impacted me is in hiring. Designers tend to sell themselves based on their portfolios, and most of the decently-paying companies seem to now be using AI to sort through résumés, so regardless of how good your work is, you need to use arbitrarily-selected keywords or you won’t even get an interview. The other way is that HR departments list being “proficient with leading AI platforms” with no idea how that might be important to the job, and from what I can tell, resistance to that is a red flag.
