Looks good for ideation. Could potentially be more useful for an agency or creative professional building logos. They can make vector art off of promising mock-ups. Also most of the generated images need to be simplified for sake of a logo, but a professional can do this better.

The first one is really amazing!

Something strange about DALL·E is that if you just type gibberish by pounding randomly on your keyboard, it will still "work", i.e., produce an image.

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...

That too can be solved with "AI".

The software used was Topaz Labs Sharpen AI. How they define "AI" I can't say for certain, but they're apparently using models so I'm assuming there's some kind of machine learning involved. Their software does a really good job on photos and videos well beyond what a standard sharpen filter does. The upscaling features are also pretty awesome. (no I don't work for them)

image generators are cool, but there's no shortage of them (midjourney & running your own on collab) and dalle2 has nonsensical bans (why does "pepe" go against the content policy?)

Open-ai has nonsensical censorship. Dalle might be popular right now, but open-ai won't survive if they keep up their ridiculous attempts at trying to control culture. I've already got something running on collab, new models are coming out, and midjourney just got a v3 update that blows dalle2 out of the water.

I'd wonder if that's an artifact of the source data, drilling down in the possibility space to be more like some subset that duplicates the image label- for example pulling tweets with body text and alt text.

Alternatively I guess it could just pull harder towards the prompt, idk.

I’m fascinated by how much this is exactly like working with a human artist who doesn’t really understand the domain that you are wanting to represent with an image. Iterate, iterate, iterate. It seems like the most valuable thing this could do is get some of that early exploration out of the way faster and easier than a human can do it, get to two or three concepts that feel like they’re in the neighborhood, and the…

Yes! It gives powerful tools for someone with a concept to get much closer to visualization of their idea.

DALL E 2 is like a low or no-code tool in that way.

The outcome may not be a "finished" product, especially as viewed by a professional designer (or web dev). However, its a heck of a lot better than a tersely written spec.

And in some cases, the product will work well enough to unblock the business, get customer feedback and generally keep things moving forward.

Both look very generic, like I've seen them before. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find nearly identical images somewhere on the net.

With all respect possible, you generated something that a professional will create for 20 minutes on a napkin (in the context of logo idea).

Maybe your perception of "logo" needs more reference points. For example, this gallery of classics in Brand Identity will be a good starting point(use the triangles on top to navigate): https://www.joefino.com/logos_html/L01_Xpand.html

There is no doubt in my mind that the next iterations of neural networks will remove all "overpaid" and "overconfident" design professionals, that's why I adapted to the reality and moved to frontend development. All of this with clear realization that everything humans can do for a production processes will be augmented and removed. The nasty "humans" always want to be paid, more and more. They want to have rights and privileges. What a hassle.:)

You could of also paid a human to carry your comment all the way over to me so I could read it and reply like I am doing so now.
