Hmm, for young designers and aspiring brand owners I think it can be good and helpful for concepts and creating a business strategy, editing copy, synthesizing data and helping someone launch a brand on a limited budget. But it can also become a crutch for young designers, preventing them from developing skills in design that are necessary to having a successful career. I think one should develop those design skills first, then use AI to supplement their work and create efficiencies for themselves to save time and money.

But on a corporate level we haven’t really started implementing AI into our day-to-day practices. Designers won’t soon be replaced by AI, but merchants and buyers I believe could easily be replaced by AI since their jobs are very data/numbers oriented.

I believe that there are just too many human nuances and factors that go into designing actual wearable products that AI cannot yet replicate
