This feels 1000% like a chatgpt prompt copy and pasted into a webpage.
Yea, no links to any of the tools.
For more organic vel genuine design experience you can go to the main page. ;) https://slicker.me/
That’s because it is.
and it is great 👌🏻- no reason to do everything yourself when you got tools to make it easier.
edit because all the downvotes: 😅 one only mentions the slightest positive thing about AI, and you get massive downvotes. Guess it is human nature to dislike change. Reminds me of a story my grandad told me on how all the taxi "drivers" (that then rode horse and carriage) hated those awful cars. Even mentioning cars had them spitting the ground, swearing. They were surely never going to change...
I think AI is great, and I think it gives us many new ways of doing (or not doing) things. Both positive and negative. And yes I do hate the energy consumption, computer prices etc that it has caused. But this is something that will fix itself given a little time 😊
Oh shit that edit is hilarious and you don't even see the irony in it.
The Invention of “Jaywalking”
over 100 years later and some communities are still fighting for policies that allow an environment that fosters connection and value of life over powerful industry lobbyists trying to take over with their products (sound familiar?). But for sure, it will just fix itself if we just give it a little more time 😘
I also love when I buy something off of Etsy believe it to be hand made, and it ends up being a dropshipped piece of garbage.
If what you have to say isn't important enough to write then it definitely isn't important enough to read.
Let Chatgpt read it for you
I don’t want to argue if AI is good or bad.
I am using social media to read stuff from other human beings. I am not dumb and I can prompt LLMs myself if I have the need to.
Just saw this reply. I have to say that I find tools like Claude code indispensable in helping me through my workflow. I have used them enough to the point I know where I’m getting “divorced” from my thought process.
Once that happens, I feel like it no longer belongs to me. It’s someone else’s understanding of what I understood.
And that is my problem with AI generated anything. I am looking at a second-hand take of a second-hand ideation.
