The Era of the AI Slop Doctor

Job shuffle.

1. People start a project using gen AI (logo, article, code)
2. They hire skilled humans to fix what the AI has wrought (so they do their surgery on it, to fix the Frankenstein’s monster)
3. The humans are paid below market value for these fixes because of perception (which I think will re-balance)

The same technology that was supposed to put graphic designer Lisa Carstens out of business is now keeping her busier than ever.

Carstens, a longtime freelancer based in Spain, spends a good portion of her day working with startups and individual clients looking to fix their botched attempts at artificial intelligence-generated logos.
