I just started a marketing job, my background is pretty random but it’s mostly in art and graphic design. Anyway, I’m not too familiar with the industry, but I keep getting surprised by the AI stuff I see on stock image sites, especially Adobe.
What are people actually using this for? I don’t mean to sound rude and I use some AI myself, mostly for text, but the visual quality really gives me the creeps

Management doesn’t care about image quality. All that micromanaging creatives have dealt with for years was pointless.
Exactly, my Marketing Director claims to do the work of four people thanks to advancements in tech. We just wonder why our projects don’t perform as they should.
I created a two year email marketing plan for a client. They just handed it to design and said make it a midjourney project. Then they told me to cut all the copy down to one sentence. So yeah.

Haha all those classes the executives take just to ignore the basics of testing
@Olin
It was a tough experience and I still haven’t fully bounced back from it. They brought me in as a blogger, and when they learned about AI, they just moved on.
I mix stock and mid-journey photos for websites when clients don’t provide their own. Depending on the topic, mid-journey can give amazing results, but it can also get pretty wild. It takes some time to find the right image and doesn’t always fit every project.
