AI Isn’t Replacing Graphic Designers. Your Client Is

The Angry Designer Graphic Design, Freelancing, Branding & Creative Business Podcast

Graphic Designers aren’t being replaced by AI.
They’re being replaced by their own clients using AI.
The real threat to a Graphic Designer isn’t AI. It’s lazy marketers, overconfident interns, and clueless execs showing up with AI-generated briefs, Frankensteined logos, and bloated brand docs pulled straight from a bot. And they expect you to clean it all up like a design janitor.
This week on The Angry Designer podcast, we expose the uncomfortable truth about the actual enemy designers are facing, and it’s not the tech. It’s the people using it wrong.
In this episode, we break down:

• Why Grpahic Designers are being reduced to decorators (and how to stop it)
• The rise of “confident garbage” and the illusion of quality
• How to push back, simplify chaos, and reclaim your authority

If you’ve ever been handed a “professional” AI brief that made zero sense… or had your strategy questioned because “AI said so”, this one’s going to hit hard.

This isn’t just a rant. It’s a damn wake-up call.
Because AI won’t replace you.
But your client, who THINKS they know how to use AI absolutely will.
