Lately, there seems to be an avalanche of tools like DALL-E, was there some breakthrough that helped make these thinks more viable to run publicly? And concerning creating a logo with such tools: Is there any consensus on an eventual copyright of such works?

dall e 2 says you can use their images for commercial uses.

that's not all there is to this though obviously

My god it is so frustrating that I can't seem to get open ai access any time I have an idea for a project using dall e, gpt, for whatever reason, they won't approve my account. I have to sit here and watch everyone else play with the fun "open" ai tools... company needs a name change if they're going to keep this up.

They just scaled up by giving access to an additional 1mil users. Be patient… it’s not like it’s free or trivial to run something like this.

to answer your other question, diffusion generative models recently became big. you can read up on them if you want.

This might not be a popular opinion, but I think all the work OP put in here is probably worth more than 50-100 bucks (which is the price of a logo on something like Fiverr). And to make things worse, the logo itself still needs to be cleaned up[1] as it's way too blurry to be seriously used as an app icon, etc. [1] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cube2222/octosql/main/imag...

It's a cute concept that can work well if done right.

In its current state it's not a viable logo because, for one thing, it won't look good in black & white.

It's a good start, but it's more of an illustration than a logo to be honest. It should work as a single color (white, black), at small scale and in combination with your product name.

OP might be able to achieve that with a few minutes in Illustrator or similar.

Starting up illustrator already takes a few minutes.

From a technical perspective, there has been a much larger adoption of diffusion models which make these types of generative art much more viable. There has also been breakthroughs in connecting images and text with models like CLIP. DALLE-2, Imagen, and a lot of other generative work are using these ideas to get even better results.

So, if a nascent company chooses to go down this same path of generating (or maybe _seeding_) their logo design with AI, have they essentially given up any ability to protect that logo going forward?

With DALLE 2, I’ll pretty much never hire a graphic designer again to make any kind of logo. Good riddance, I’m sick and tired of their pretentious justifications for charging upwards of $500-$1k or more for simple logo designs.

I'm not looking forward to people saying the same of coders in 10 years time...

That's already happening with no code tools, hosted solutions, saas, GitHub copilot and more.

And are the images it's trained on copyrighted? What are their source images from which these are derived?
