AI Image Generators Shake Up China's Graphic Design Industry

AI image generators like DALL-E are significantly impacting China's graphic design landscape. While some designers use AI for cost-effective background creation, it highlights AI's potential to replace parts of the creative process. Clients now expect faster turnaround times and lower prices, leading to increased workload and reduced income for designers. Although AI can quickly replicate styles, it can't replace a designer's core skills in creative strategy and problem-solving. Many view AI as a 'toy' rather than a 'tool', finding its usefulness limited in complex projects. There's hope that AI will become a more effective design assistant in the future.
