Can AI replace human designers?
No way! It's impossible for AI to replace human designers. While AI can help to do some cool stuffs like generating colors and patterns, it can't definitely replace our creativity and imagination because human designers are always mind blowing especially if done with a touch of professionalism. More so, design is not just about making something that looks so pretty, it's more of crafting something that solve problems and understanding people's needs as well.

I once made a big mistake in one design project. It was a school poster I was working on and I accidentally used the wrong font for the title. Normall, it was supposed to be a fancy font, but I mistakenly used a plain font instead. The worse part is that I didn't notice until I had already printed out about 100 copies. I was so frustrated. But , honestly, I learned my lesson.
