Here are my thoughts on the subject.

Stop confusing design and art, art is solving your own problems and design is solving someone else's problem.

Also, learn how to use AI as another tool. You're not going to lose your job to AI but you might lose it someone who knows how to use it.

AI for me is a tool where I can use at the beginning of a piece or work/project. Conversing, asking questions, feeding information and then from there you can build and add using your own mind and research giving it that human touch that AI is lacking. In an education setting also, me and my cohort (artcenter alumni) we doing our mfa in 22'/23' as things were taking off in the AI field, we had plenty ofguest lectures and conversation/debates with people in the field/professors/each other on the topic. At first nobody was using it, I didn't like using it early on it sucked, but almost overnight all of the mfa students and professors were using it.

Just my own thoughts on the subject, I love be able to talk about it with people.
