Human V's AI - who should you choose and why?

AI can be fantastic when used for inspiration or ideas in design and branding. 

However I’m seeing it time and time again, businesses using the same generic style that’s clearly created by AI. The tell tail signs are very apparent…. 

• The language 

• The format 

• The same generic graphics 

• The same vibe 

• The same lack of emotion 

• The high possibility of spelling mistakes or a person with 6 fingers & a weird jaw line  😜 

I’m flicking through my socials and it all looks the same! 

The amount of businesses who are coming to me asking me to re create poor quality AI designs because a. they are either low resolution and not ideal for printing or use in a large scale format or b. they’ve seen an almost identical design used by another business. Eeeeek!!! You really can't have that ha ha!

We can’t escape AI and it’s a great tool when used correctly but when it comes to that personal touch that needs true human understanding breathing life, passion and that all important emotional

feel into design giving the customer a bespoke experience than only a real human can give your business what it needs.

Using AI is free, I get it! But this is your business and in a world of, more people than not, having a business these days, you need to stand out in an over saturated market. 

Save yourself time and extra money in the long run and call in the humans! Supporting local businesses and keeping them alive. Let’s support each other. 

So as not to appear completely biased- I have listed the pros and cons of AI versus Human Design below 👇🏼 ha ha 🤣
