AI image generators can now produce visuals that fool most people, but I still think they're a creative crutch, not a tool. I watched a designer friend lean on Midjourney for a client pitch and the result looked polished yet hollow—no concept, just pixels. Real skill in visual work isn't about rendering; it's about intent, and machines don't have that. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd rather see a flawed human sketch than a perfect AI imitation.
