This was me as a 100% beginner on Photoshop

And here is your hype :

You can read the article here :

I think we’re going around in circles, here. So I will say this and then bow out. Is there hype around AI? Yes. It feels very similar to the hype around crypto. Is your original statement saying "everything of AI is a Hype” — with an emphasis on “everything” — naive or, best case scenario, misleading? Yes. I believe Han1 is a student. For any student to write off AI as hype would be just plain foolish.

AI isn’t hype. But it’s not the end of design either.

Every generation thinks the new tool is going to replace everything. Adobe Photoshop replaced darkrooms. Stock libraries reduced the need for custom shoots. Digital tablets replaced some paper workflows. None of that killed design, it just changed what designers focused on.

AI feels big because it is big. It speeds up concepting, creates variations in seconds, removes backgrounds instantly, and helps small businesses produce decent visuals without hiring a full team. That’s real.

But it doesn’t understand brand nuance. It doesn’t sit in meetings. It doesn’t handle client politics. It doesn’t take responsibility for outcomes. It doesn’t think strategically. Yet…

It’s a tool layer on top of tools.

The fundamentals still matter, learning to see, to think visually, to solve problems, to communicate clearly. If anything, AI amplifies the gap. A strong designer using AI becomes faster and more effective. A weak designer just produces generic work faster.

It’ll be used well. It’ll be used badly. Some people will make serious money with it. Others won’t get much from it at all. And in certain roles, government, regulated industries, sensitive branding, there may even be limits on how it’s used.

It’s not Westworld. It’s not the apocalypse. It’s just the next shift.

And like every shift before it, the people who adapt thoughtfully will be fine.

Thanks, for your answer Steve and to the others. Maybe that Am I exaggerating about that “Everything of Ai is a hype” ?, like those persons that have been exaggerating about Ai ? Well may be yes or may be not, but I am not going to be as a stubborn person (I am saying this about myself) but the real truth is that all humans needs to adapt to the new technology and that’s right.

Thanks for the link to the LinkedIn article. I agree with the gist of it, and it also helps explain what you’re saying.

However, I wouldn’t say AI is “hype.” Hype is the intentional, misleading, and contrived overpromotion of something. I think a more accurate statement is that there has been considerable overenthusiasm about the current state of AI.

In that sense, there are similarities to the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s, when people’s enthusiasm for the internet got ahead of itself by several years. The problem wasn’t hype; it was a failure to recognize that the internet’s impact would take a decade or more to mature and play out to full effect. The internet itself didn’t cause an immediate change. Instead, it opened up a huge new opportunity for the development of technologies like e-commerce, streaming media, social media, and even this forum.

Similarly, the current state of AI isn’t changing everything immediately. Instead, its appearance has turned the page to a new chapter that is yet to be written. Right now, we’re at an inflection point where the potential of AI to fundamentally change the world exists. There will be many bumps in the road going forward as people learn to use it effectively, but that potential isn’t hype; it’s the reality of what’s coming.

AI isn’t a static entity. Advances in artificial intelligence will happen at an exponentially accelerating rate as it improves itself, opening up new possibilities for its use. It won’t occur today or tomorrow, but we are on the verge of a significant, disruptive societal change driven by AI developments that are right around the corner.

Hi Just-B

And yes I can see that I used the wrong word and this may be causing confuse, or maybe I was confused using the wrong word. So I apologize with all of you and next time I will be careful which word I use. Anyway I was saying the something that so many people is saying about AI on the internet. But I appreciate all your feedback.

What do you think about using AI for feedback and refinements during the process of creating a design?

It probably won’t give you great creative advice, but it can point out possible inadequacies regarding how you’re using the standard elements of design, such as contras, hierarchy, color balance, clarity, typography, and that sort of thing.

Maybe the best way to approach it is to provide a creative brief, then tell it to give you direct, unvarnished, critical feedback — both positive and negative. Otherwise, it’ll be too sycophantic and emphasize what it thinks you want to hear over giving you honest feedback.

As for the imagery you upload, I’d make it as finished as possible. AI isn’t yet good at reading your mind; it just sees what’s in front of it.

It depends, I use more AI to check grammar but sometimes to generate some creative ideas (just some titles or some small text but not big ones like a paragraph) which is good. If you have a Grammarly account then you can see a section to generate ai ideas.
