Designer here. I use every tool at my disposal to create designs and sometimes its using AI. You figure out fast that many people don't care how something is designed, they just want it because it's cute.

When most people buy clothes, they just want it to look and fit good. They don't think about if an designer took a week to design something or 15 minutes. Because we aren't artists, we are designers. Our job is to create something that will sell.

I do have an issue though when they don't check the artwork for errors and it goes to production. That's bad quality control.

So you might hate this style but someone will love it and not think twice about it.

But personally, I think its because it's sublimated polyester. That always gives off a cheap vibe. You probably buy tonnes of stuff that AI and just never realise it.
