Technology making me lose interest in creative work
Been working in design for around 15 years now, doing bit of everything - animations, illustrations, web stuff, print work, even picked up some coding along the way
Recently though I'm just not feeling it anymore. Like the spark is completely gone
Got let go in 2023 and finding new work was nightmare. Finally landed temporary position covering someone's maternity leave for about 8 months but it was terrible experience. Everyone expecting miracles from AI tools but reality never matches the hype. Watching whole industry shift in ways that feel wrong is really getting to me. Now everything I used to love doing feels pointless
Anyone else going through this or am I just completely burned out? Sometimes I wonder if I should pivot to writing full time since that's what I actually enjoy these days, but practical side of brain says that's crazy talk #art
