My friend Amybeth Menendez, a consummate professional in the world of print design, posted an excellent conversation starter on the Adobe Community forum. How do we integrate AI into a professional workflow where craft and detail matter most?

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

I had no idea there was such a thing as "The Journal of Internet Medical Research." It really exists, and a new research paper on using short video to reduce vaccine hesitancy looks well done (and a good idea).

An #AI prompted image is only the start. Use #Photoshop or #Illustrator and breathe life into it with photos, brushes, drawings, genFill, genExpand. A composite with your creativity in it is more alive, more interesting, and more satisfying than just generated pixels. #AIart

I use ChatGPT to help me write tutorials.
It is often WRONG. I think it’s a fantastic tool for subject matter experts to use who can distinguish what’s true and make corrections but don’t rely on it for the truth.

Google's NotebookLM is evolving into an outstanding research tool. AND it's fun to play with. The "podcast" feature is getting the ability to take feedback from the director (you) and modify the "hosts'" conversation.

When genAIs go bad:
Posted on the r/CrappyDesign subreddit by u/GrandpaGreybush, showing once again that it's not the genAI (or any kind of AI) we should be concerned about; it's the people who use it.

Generative AI can be useful, useless, smart, dumb, and fun; just don't mistake it for intelligence. Brilliant clockwork automata were all the rage from the late 1700s to the mid-1800s, and plenty of smart people were fooled by their own confirmation bias. www.chess.com/terms/turk-c...
