AI tools like MidJourney are more of an assistive resource than a threat. They can help designers speed up the creative process, explore new ideas, and enhance their work, but they don't replace the unique creativity and problem-solving skills that human designers bring. For example, just as platforms like Packaging San Diego enable efficient and Packaging Perfection, AI tools empower designers to complement their abilities and explore new possibilities without replacing their creativity.
I think AI tools are mostly helping designers. They save a lot of time on basic tasks, like generating initial ideas or handling repetitive work. But designers still need to guide the process and add that human touch. It's like getting a new tool in your toolbox - it doesn't replace skill, but complements it. Plus, there will always be clients who want that personal, handmade feel.
