There's a difference between machines that must interact with the physical world, and those that don't. AI is different - and not nearly as perfect as some try to make us think. But your points are still valid.

Hi Ben, my daughter works as a media designer and she is concerned about AI impact on her industry, I shared this video with her and this has helped her, thanks again for your videos I find then very helpful for myself as well.

[@bendesignsmedia]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear it. It certainly is an interesting time to be a designer.

[@orztirr1417]

Provenance of human time and attention is going to be key going forward, I believe you are right about this.

[@bendesignsmedia]

Yes, this will be very interesting to see what happens

[@thsaunders24]

Great video Ben, I loved all of your points and you have inspired me to keep on creating even in the face of AI

[@bendesignsmedia]

Glad you liked it! Keep creating!
