Anyone else who does commissions or projects noticed that people treat you like they do AI? (lemmy.ml)

I never seen this mentioned before, but I often have a situation where someone will ask me to create something, what I've noticed is that nowadays people talk to me about the creation like they talk to an AI chatbot, "make this" "make it look more scary" "make it more mysterious" "give it realistic hands" it wastes a lot of time.

I don’t do a ton of commissions, but it’s weirder now for sure. I feel like I’ve talked less uhhh… concretely to clients over the past few years. I have noticed that a lot requests do start with “Please” though, “please make it different” “please put more colors on it” “please redo the text.”

Whereas a few years ago a client would just say more clearly what they want you to do. “I’d like you to use a different font. Something that has more energy and pops out. Like this website…”
