I had this problem recently. I’m not in the US. I bought something from H&M online and I got an email from UPS that I would need to pay duties on it.

I was a little surprised as I loaded the countries version of the site and they have tons of stores locally.

It sucks and I felt a little scammed to be honest.

President Musk will get his way and they will make a compromise and call it the Gulf of X-ico.

That doesn’t matter. I never saw the post before, so I would never have seen it if it were not for the repost.

I’m sure in not the only one.

So…

Not everyone has time to read through all the posts on lemmy.

Maybe he was watching YouTube and decided to share it here before going to work.

I’d rather people over share on this platform than not share at all.

Also, I did not see this post before.

I see what you are saying, but the “art” I’ve created with AI would never have been done by a graphic designer as it would be too costly.

I would have instead used whatever I could find in Canva. So, graphic designers are not losing out from me, but it lets me elevate my work.

Either way, someone is getting paid to create something.

Is it really that different from me hiring a graphic designer and asking them to create art for me in a specific style. Even more so if I hiring someone from a country with low wages?

I have no problem with it. I’ve been using it to make images for my website that I would otherwise not be able to afford to pay a graphic designer to make.

I also use it to help me figure out wording to get the right tone to my message. I’ll read a few iterations and then work off of the one that I like best. The AI one is not always better, but it’s great to get quick alternatives for comparison.
