AI image makers are sucking the fun out of my design gig

That plastic look blairm93 mentioned is everywhere now! I see it in so many AI sketches, and it really kills the unique vibe. The speed boost might save time, but if every design ends up with the same glitchy hands and sunset colors, what's the point? Do you think the problem is that these AI tools are trained on the same popular images, so they can't help but repeat styles? It feels like we're trading creativity for convenience, and that's a bad deal for art. How can we push AI to make truly original stuff instead of just remixing trends?

Update: My take on using fish tape in tight spaces after a rough pull

Ever try making that zip tie do double duty by bending it into a little hook? I started doing that (just snip the tail short and bend the head into a catch) so when the tape pokes through, you can sometimes snag the cable end with it instead of just using it as a marker. Saves a separate grab step if you get lucky.

Vent: I thought chilling pie dough was a waste, but my coworker's crumbly crust proved me wrong.

Seriously, calling fridge time your religion is too real. I mean, I've seen people less committed to their actual beliefs than to chilling dough. My first try at pastries was a disaster because I got impatient, and it came out like a brick. Idk, maybe it's just me, but now I treat that fridge like a sacred resting place for my dough. No shortcuts, unless you want to eat something that tastes like regret.
