In this episode, we dive into the hot topic that’s been shaking up the design industry—last week's release of ChatGPT-4o’s advanced image generation and what it means for designers, copywriters, photographers, and strategists.
I break down the hard and soft reasons why AI won’t replace human creativity, how to position yourself beyond what AI can do, and the strategic thinking skills that will set you apart. Plus, I share practical steps you can take tomorrow to prove your value to clients and future-proof your career.
In this episode you'll learn:
- How AI is impacting four creative trades: copywriters, photographers, graphic designers, and strategists.
- What each trade can do to protect its craft.
- What AI will always struggle with—based on how it's designed—is exactly what you need to double down on in your craft.
- The key strategic skills you need to stay ahead.
