AI vs YOUR EGO | Is AI Feeding Your Ego?

Description

Episode 41, Season 2 | Why Are Some Clients Ditching Designers for AI?AI can generate a poster in seconds. But is AI really coming for design jobs, or is something else pushing designers out?KDK regulars get into the uncomfortable conversation around AI, ego, collaboration, pricing, personal branding, and what actually makes a designer valuable. We also debate how clients can tell the difference between a skilled designer and someone who simply knows how to prompt well, why your social media may matter more than your Behance portfolio, and whether refusing to evolve is becoming a bigger threat than AI itself.Plus, a KK Live update covering tickets, the duo hoodie giveaway, and the upcoming “Chaff From the Rice” panel.CHAPTERS00:00 It Will Never Replace...
