I feel like QUITTING design. Too much curation, optimization and fluff. What's human now?
For the last 6 years I had been studying design, animation, behaviour, colour, sketching etc etc etc.
Times have changed.
All that I have learnt yesterday, is put into words to churn out a video who's visuals are stolen/scraped from everywhere. No research needed to study market or to study visual presentation.
These are few of the problems and questions I face now, and I believe many face it as well.
1) I find **no meaning** in design anymore. Just noise, performance and more and more curation to grab eyeballs.
2) I have too much of **cognitive overload** these days. Feels like too many possibilities but don't feel acting on them bcz of AI.
3) If I force myself into the **design workforce**, how much **money** do I need to actually upskill to compete with this noise in workforce?
4) Veteran designers on YouTube talk about developing **taste. No one talks about how it is possible to develop taste without junior roles.**
