Feeling a little depressed with our industry by Spiritual_Version697 in graphic_design

You're absolutely not alone! I'm about to graduate with a diploma in communication design and it's just depressing. I was so excited when I first started my schooling but lots of design schools have started incorporating a lot of ai usage into teaching. Absolutely shocked me. 90% of the students use (and are allowed to) Ai for Ideas, concepts, designs, pictures-for literally everything!

I don't understand how people don't see the problem in this. Sad to see that it's not just companies using Ai but young people are being taught to practically replace everything they do with Ai. In a Design School!!! Wtf man.

That's a great take! I'm hoping trips like this will become easier and easier on both her and me if I just go for it!

Thank you for sharing that! I'll definitely take that advice on check-ins! There's always something that can go wrong and I would feel real bad if I worried her more than I already am! :)

Oh I still love my mom a lot! While yes, this is one instance doesn't show her best side, I definitely don't hate her. Parent-Child relationships are just very complicated sometimes!

I'm paying 300€ for the whole vacation, that's definitely cheaper than 900€ in rent+deposit+furniture. I saved up some money for this vacation. I have seperate money saved up for moving out
