I've been working on designing this sales presentation for a client for days now. In preparation for this, I've gone through hours of meeting recordings, documents and research to learn about their industry and their business and help them structure the narrative. I'm not a copywriter but I write copy because text is half of design and you gotta be able to write a little bit. And trying to convince my clients to write a copywriter is not going to be possible so I might as well do it. There is a heading on each slide and sometimes a short description. I took care to write these with the collaboration of the client so they each have deep meaning but also well crafted and punchy. Today, the client just decided to filter it all through ChatGPT and asked me to replace it all. Of course ChatGPT does not have context and even if you give it context it never produces anything even remotely usable. Claude is a bit better but meh. There are so many small details that it gets wrong. On the face of it, it seems fine but as a whole it just is so stealthily destructive to not just my designs but to my client's business too. We were going through it and we noticed if we didn't pay too much attention and just pasted it in, when the time came to present it my client would've been so screwed and would've looked like a fool in front of his prospect. After painfully going through some of the text, the client literally said "Thank you for pushing back on this— I need to go lay down". AI slop is here and is messing with my designs, my brain and rotting me from inside out you guys.   submitted by   /u/thomasgreat94 [link]   [comments]
