Freelance illustrator Lisa Carstens now spends much of her time repairing AI-generated logos with fuzzy edges and broken text.

Meanwhile, writer Kiesha Richardson says half her assignments involve rewriting AI content that “doesn’t look remotely human.”

Both say the irony is painful:
“AI is cutting my pay… but they can’t do it without humans.”

What was meant to be automated work has turned into a demand for human skill — just undervalued and underpaid.
