AI bro
This piece is a playful response to the criticism I’ve encountered as a graphic designer choosing to use AI as a creative tool. This design in particular was inspired by an Instagram comment that declared “You’re not an artist–you’re just an AI-bro.” I decided to lean into the critique, using it as fuel for my creativity.
“AI Bro” has since made its international debut in The Holy Art Gallery’s ArtOnLoop digital exhibitions, showing in Tokyo, Paris, and Los Angeles.
Visual Symbolism
The skull serves as a central symbol, reflecting a pervasive narrative that AI represents “the death of creativity”–a tool that renders art meaningless and worthless. The use of ice cream represents another frequent comment that labels AI-generated images as “slop.” The orange slice is a symbol for my fresh approach to design–a bright, juicy take on creative expression.
