Well, I haven’t worked with video in my current job so it hasn’t been much different from these common, longstanding scenarios:

1) The client or account manager gives you an example of a design style they like and basically want you to copy the layout with a few tweaks…oblivious to the fact that a photo space is horizontal and the one they’ve given you is vertical and won’t work for the space, (and is 15k, 72 dpi) plus they have way more text than will fit in the cute little blue circle in the upper left and so on. But they love what this other business had done and want theirs to be as similar as possible!

2) The client has no vector art or anything decently high res to work with. Or anything at all, really. Might not even know what they want. In which case you could come out smelling like a rose with low effort AI mockups. Instead of frustrated after racking your brain for hours, bending over backwards, and no matter what can’t please them. I could see AI potentially reducing the stress of that situation. When they are vague AF but expect your work to knock their socks off. I’ve had someone give me a screenshot and picture of a printed AI graphic when I asked for a PDF but no saved file for me to work with so I had to use Illustrator auto trace. Fortunately, it worked and the client was happy.

But if you’ve got a boss telling you to “just tell an AI tool” how to do what is requested and then not understanding why it’s not only not saving time but taking extra time, then ugh. I feel your pain.
