kradeelavso there's a guy at work really pushing ai
unfortunately he's high up enough that simply ignoring him won't work (egh)
and it's really interesting seeing the general reception from the designers. generally the younger they skew the more 'meh' they are wheras the older designers in their 30's and up are more critical though there are a few outliers. (in design specifically these are the designers who've seen the full print > digital > whatever era of design this is now.)
so i've been chatting with the designer most vocally against ai and even though i'm a lot less uhh extreme? (not in a negative way, just factual) than he is, i've been workshopping soundbites with him that we could both push back a little in ways with the kind of concrete data that companies are more likely to actually respond to. how consumers respond (negatively) to companies who use ai in marketing especially if it's a safety-focused company, etc. optics.
kinda how to win this battle? versus just saying 'lolno' and risk embarassing/pissing off this VP who'd be more likely to dig in and who we can't afford to have as an enemy. i would rather the anti-ai team win for both selfish and selfless reasons but there is an art to optics. you might as well fight smart.
