“I think the way that we have to stop thinking is to get out of any sort of fear based mindset that says, me, as a designer, [A.I.] is just trying to take my job…. No. Actually, what we're trying to do, fellow designer, is we're trying to promote you. We're trying to get you to those higher levels of problem solving. We want you to be art directors, creative directors, [and] strategists because that's what's gonna push the ball forward more than pixel pushing and drawing yet again another box with rounded corners that we're gonna put the word search in. That's not gonna move humanity forward.” - Jesse Showalter
