I would be very worried if I were going to want a job as a graphic designer.
May be better idea to learn how to prompt the future AIs.
Before we know it, we will have an AI making an entire movie (about 200-400k frames)
I used DALL·E 2 to generate a logo

Re: I used DALL·E 2 to generate a logo
#132This 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". https://imgur.com/a/m3hDMZq 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…
Jeremy Howard describes this as "Decrappification"[1]. This is one of the easiest deep learning models to train, in my opinion, as you can generate your own dataset easily. You just get good pictures for the target, programmatically make changes that make the image "crappy" for your source, and train until your network can convert from crappy to good. Then you pass it something it has never seen, and whabam, your picture is sharper than before.
Re: I used DALL·E 2 to generate a logo
#133With 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.
This is most certainly already happening. I find it kind of annoying not to know with certainty whether or not I'm engaging with a Genuine Human(TM) or not.
I'm unsure if it's confirmation bias, but I find myself noticing weird abberations in online comments that don't seem to be ESL related. (edit: it's probably just mobile swipe typing at play)

This still doesn’t work well as a logo IMO, no amount the sharpening. It probably needs to get redrawn with a proper vector editor, the lines cleaned up and colors simplified
It’s a good first draft and something to give to a designer, but can’t stand by it’s own as a serious app logo

Agreed. At the end of the article I also described a bit how I would see the evolution of such a tool, and it looks like we're thinking very similarly. --- Though I think the real breakthrough will come when Dall-e gets 10-100x cheaper (and faster). I would then envision the following process of working with it (which is really just an optimization on top of what I’ve been doing now): 1. You write a phrase. 2. You ar…
This workflow reminds me of a generative art program from the early 1990s, but I just can't remember its name. It was a DOS or Windows program that had a very curvy, fluid GUI with different graphics sliders. It would show you some random tiles and you choose one to guide the algorithm's next generation of tiles.
Kai's Power Tools.

Sure, I am the secret GPT 5 experiment. Now you got me. Congrats:)
Exactly how I'd expect a GPT experiment to reply! ;)
We'll hardly be able to tell the difference, if at all. Maybe it doesn't matter as long as the conversation is engaging for the human.
Re: I used DALL·E 2 to generate a logo
#137It'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.
Very roughly, it looks fine to me: https://i.imgur.com/6K73qiA.png
Re: I used DALL·E 2 to generate a logo
#138This 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.
If you can have humans sort the generated images into "good quality" and "bad quality", you can just keep iterating. Our subjective ratings is another score to optimize for.
Doesn't the sample size for this have to be very large for it to make a difference? Genuine question.
Re: I used DALL·E 2 to generate a logo
#139I’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…

It will get cheaper. On 5 years it will run on your phone

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…
> enough stuff to guarantee a decent standard of living to everybody
It's not a zero sum game. There's still growth in us. We'll go to space and expand 1000x more, the space has plenty of resources, and humans will have jobs working together with AI.
