"You'd basically have to create a bunch of designer robots to create boring designs in a very stereotypical manner, or you train foreigners to understand and design for the Western markets...and at that point they don't need your shitty outsourcing job, they can work for your competition for a fair wage."
Vali points but the problem is the outsourcing has already started and the companies involved don't care... The concept and workflows are developed in america then once refined the infrastructure and asset management tools are implemented both in America and India... You have both groups working in tandem. The American site is often correcting what's pulled out of the Indian outfolders but that's not a major issue because what is generated from India doesn't have to be great just good enough. So say you had a full time staff of 20 production artists pullling in between $55,000 to $65,000 DOE a year plus benefits you could trim that down to 5 full time american workers and have the remainder of your workload outsourced where you pay the indian production artist $3,000 to $5,000 a year with no benefits.
Suprisingly enough it works and it sounds an awful lot like your designer robot scenario.
