This blog post proves that Dall-E 2 will not make human taste and design ability obsolete. The final image he ended up with is a lot uglier and more complicated than most of the intermediate steps. I think generative art AIs will have a similar effect on design as compilers have on software development, and will not put artists out of a job.

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…

I feel like I understand where you're coming from, but often the phrase I hear by experts (I even use this myself in my space) is, "Sure, it only took 20 minutes to do this wiring/write this code/draw this logo, but it took 5 years to know what to make." Sure, the results aren't what you'd get if you paid a professional logo designer, but if you can get close enough, it's really cutting out the X years training necessary to get to that point.

will likely improve massively given the generational leaps made in this area. The "good enough" threshold is very low for majority of enterprises.

I had no idea that could you do the variations or the brush stuff. Maybe I’m just glossing right over it? But that seems to give the tool more utility. I just try a phrase and I either like it or I don’t.

The fact that you can integrate on it seems to make it much more useful.

Disagree. Just allow one or two more iterations and it will supersede human abilities. Think ahead. Tech progress won't stop.

Not sure if this will be considered off topic, my apologies if so. The article says that octopi is the plural of octopus, but it's actually octopuses. Octopus is originally Greek, not Latin and thus does not get the Latin plural -i, but instead would get the Greek plural -odes. Since it ends in a way English can deal with, the commonly accepted usage is octopuses (English) over octopodes (Greek) with octopi being the…

The way the author specifically calls out the plural of octopus makes me think they might be trolling (Hanlon's Razor notwithstanding).

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 beg to disagree. I think it makes much more sense for simple illustrations for articles, presentations and books ("pencil sketch" style). For logos, especially since you'd usually want simpler shapes, less detail, with a lot of readability, I'd go pay an artist if it was for a company I was building.

Heh, and you don’t think we won’t train AIs specifically for drawing logos where not only can you specify features that you want but even the demographics you want it to appeal to based on mass collection of data.

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

By then I will have moved far beyond hands on keyboard type work and will be managing teams.
