Am I the only one who thinks AI art tools actually made my design work worse?

I used to spend 4 hours on a custom logo in Illustrator, and now I can crank one out in 20 minutes with Midjourney v6, but my clients have been sending back more revisions than ever since I started using it last fall. Does anyone else feel like the speed gain just trades one problem for another in terms of quality control?

Messed around with an AI tool for a client's packaging design once and it kept giving me these weird textures that looked nothing like what I asked for. Ended up just redoing it by hand anyway.

Laughing at myself here because I totally did the same thing with an AI tool for a logo once, @xena1. It kept spitting out these blender-botched gradients that looked like someone spilled a smoothie on my screen. So I spent three hours tweaking prompts that gave me nothing but a headache and a weird obsession with "cyberpunk pizza." Ended up sketching the whole thing on a napkin during lunch.
