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…

The real question is how soon will GPT-3(4?) replace commenters on websites like this one, and whether you will even be able to tell.

Probably that was done first.

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...

I thought the hardest part about logos is the idea itself? Doesn't matter that it's blurry - the majority of the work has been done.

It's obviously not done, and unfortunately it won't ever get done.

They need a black and white variation, different sizes, and the underlying component assets.

So Dalle2 might actually be able to provide that in the future as well.

But for now - it's going go give you an 'image' which you have to get an artist to then clean up int a proper logo with assets.

I'm playing with DallE-mini on hugging face and am generally unimpressed, I'm not sure if its' the same Dalle.

I tried the main DallE website sadly don't have an 'invite'.

I'm not sure I'd use this for a logo.

IANAL but my understanding is the ability to copyright the output from something like DALL-E 2 is questionable at best, due the lack of human authorship.

(See "Monkey selfie copyright dispute" on Wikipedia for more info.)

My friend asked me to create a logo using Dall-E for a pizza business called "Jared's pizza." I tried several different prompts but it kept outputting logos with the word "Jizza." It doesn't do too well with text from my experience, but it could have been the prompt.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I see this happening in all areas. Everything would be prompt-driven. Do you like this? What about this? You simply nod or reject the solutions that you don't want. Pretty soon somebody's expertise and experience is not going to be enough to continue paying them what they used to get before this magic blackbox appeared. One day enterprises will realize they can just outsource that expert who's been reduced to simply…

But, if everyone's jobs are automated, nobody is making any money, so nobody has any money to pay doctors, lawyers, executives, money managers, etc. You would think that if these types were thinking rationally, they would be fighting to expand the middle class so more people can pay for their services.

In the past, eliminating humans from one set of jobs has been balanced by a new set of opportunities for humans in different jobs. Usually, the new jobs are more valuable.

That's not utopianism. The new jobs can't always be filled by the people kicked out of jobs. It really sucks to be them.

But it does mean that it's not irrational for people to want to automate other people's jobs. The net amount of stuff generated increases, rather than decreases.

This pattern may not last forever. There's already some thought that we've generated more than enough stuff to guarantee a decent standard of living to everybody (at least in the developed world) without working, and plenty more for luxuries if people choose to work. Even if we haven't reached it, we appear to be heading in that direction sooner rather than later.

That may cause a radical re-think at some point. And it won't be seriously delayed by making sure cartoonists have jobs.

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…

This is definitely off topic:

I really dislike the latin plural rule, that some misguided but powerful people decided on centuries ago.

"Indexes" is much more natural English than "indices", and we should, when possible, use those those forms.

Jizza sounds really tasty, maybe dall e is onto something.
