“Don’t feed my work to AI.”That was the response from Nigerian motion designer Irapada Abraham after an AI creator recreated his work and posted it online.But where exactly is the line between inspiration and imitation? Does credit make a difference? Should you ask permission before using someone's work as an AI reference? And if a human can study and recreate another designer's work, why should AI be any different?In this episode, Irapada joins us to unpack the controversy and share his perspective on AI, creativity, and what it means to be a motion designer in 2026.We also talk about the future of motion design, whether AI will take creative jobs, how designers can adapt, and what it's really like building a creative career in Nigeria.Watch/listen and tell us: Where do you draw the line?Connect with Irapada:IG page: https://www.instagram.com/irapss.ae?igsi=azcwNWw5ZjFiaXh6&utm_source=qrTwitter page: https://x.com/irapss_ae?s=11His portfolio: http://irapsinmotion.cvHis product thumbs up as promised: https://x.com/motionimo/status/2092099678032568673/video/1
