The vast majority of the time, no, I do not use AI.

I do not even look at stock photos with Generative AI unless I have exhausted all other options. But many of my clients are within sci-fi/fantasy genres (which you may discern involve many things that are not real), so AI often does a much better job “imagining” imaginary things. So if AI delivers a higher quality product for my client than I can find anywhere else, I will consider it.

That being said, AI is now built into Photoshop and many other tools I use. It is becoming more and more difficult to avoid.

If it is important to you that AI not touch your project at all, simply let me know, and I will be sure to completely avoid using any form of AI.
