An image sent by a partner, initially thought to be a rough AI mockup, was discovered to result from poor editing of a photographer’s work through generative AI. This reveals critical issues around intellectual property and design quality. The lack of attention to detail signifies negligence, posing risks to clients’ brands. Companies, especially startups, depend on authentic designs to establish themselves. Moreover, the consequences of sloppy work extend beyond aesthetics, affecting team reputation and productivity.
The problem wasn't the tools used. The problem was the judgment. Someone thought this was good enough to send to a client and pass off as "original artwork".
Sloppy isn't harmless, it blocks everyone downstream from doing their job well. It doesn't just waste time, it undermines the reputation of the entire team.
