Discussion Do you show clients your AI process, or keep it hidden?

Hi everyone, I’m a designer and I’m rethinking my view on AI. With Claude Code, my workflow has become incredibly powerful.

Until now, I’ve always shown my clients my work and the process behind it, step by step, directly in the software. With Claude there’s still a lot of work behind the result, and you need to know what you’re doing, but I don’t want people to think I only work with AI. The result is high quality and I’d like it to be seen that way.

I’m afraid clients will judge me. People who work in this field and follow AI updates see how simple and amazing it all is, but normal people don’t follow these things and don’t understand them.

What do you do? Do you show your AI process to clients, or are you starting to keep these things “hidden”?

Other Post Type Should we "dumb down" our work?

• Upvotes

I'd love to hear your view on something that happened this week and left me really wondering about the big picture consequences of using Generative AI on our work, not only as designers but also developers, artists and in this specific situation, writers.

I had a post removed from an online platform because, according to the moderators, it was AI-generated. Well, for obvious reasons,I am sure that the copy and screenshots in that post were authentic and human-made.

So, what happened there? After some research across similar decisions in that platform and others, I've spotted some of the "identifiers" that lead moderators to assume posts like the one I published are AI-generated:

- They're structured in short and clear paragraphs.

- Language and syntax are accurate and purposeful.

- There are no grammar issues or misspelled words.

- They include bullet points 🤔.

- The tone is cheerful or empathetic (this one is a blast!).

- Repetition is used as a stylistic device.

Is there irony or tragedy in this? Rationally thinking, this is what's happening:

AI models learned by reading millions of online posts written and published by human beings. Therefore, AI copy sounds human. Therefore, if we write as human beings we sound like AI slop. Therefore... what? We have to sound like a machine to convince people we're human? > Therefore, we need to:

- Use awkward paragraph structures?

- Use slang or speak like our knowledge merely scratches the surface of things?

- Throw grammar or spelling to the bin?

- Just shove stuff randomly into a text, using very long sentences?

- Show no emotional connection or tone?

- Stop thinking about pace or rhythm when we're writing?

In conclusion, if we keep on using AI to think and write for us, are we falling into one of the most terrible traps we could possibly imagine? Losing our identities? Having to "dumb down" our work so other people don't think, say, or judge it's AI-made?

I'd love to hear what you think and if you've ever felt the same. Cheers!

Asking Question (Rule 4) Design Color Change Etiquette (I own the logo)

2 Upvotes

EDIT: Thanks for all the quick responses!!! I try to be very intentional as the media rep for our band, which leads me to overthink very easily. I really appreciate all the answers to my question/concern. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something that designers secretly hate (like dumping a "for here" latte with beautiful art into a to go cup without even taking a sip lol).

Tried to search this but I kept getting black and white answers and I'm hoping for more nuanced answers from designers.

I own the logo to my band and paid a local artist in my city to make it for us. It's primarily black and white with the words in one color. I'm not looking to permanently change the color, I just find it's nice to match the color to certain situations (like a Halloween flyer, making the letters orange). 9/10 I use the main color, but sometimes it'd be nice to play off different themes.

I have changed it to grey scale from time to time, but never messed with the actual "color" color. I also have the vectors so the color changing I'm not relying on AI to change anything either.

I know I legally *can* change the color, but what's the etiquette with this situation? I just want to make sure I'm respectful of the artist's work.

Discussion Will Claude Design kill Figma?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a product designer who grew up with the old Adobe methods and a design education. I’ve learned Adobe, Figma and many other tools. Adobe is great for me, it’s really strong and I’m not leaving it.

But since Claude Design came out, I feel like Figma isn’t needed anymore.

So I’m asking you: do you think Claude Design will kill Figma? Does it still make sense to learn Figma? Does it make sense to keep working in it and, above all, to keep paying for the subscription?

I find myself having a lot of ideas, screenshots, etc but not being able to organize it properly, I don't like notion and manually organizing things. Idk none of the saving tools have worked well for me, does anyone have a solution for this? Like an actually useful Pinterest? An organization tool for creatives that actually works..
