I just got access today. Can’t wait to try it out. We produce a lot of content and the biggest hurdle in graphic creation is the back and forth with the designer, plus the lag between writing, designing, and publishing. This would make it easy enough that the writer can include a prompt for the illustration right in the text itself. More than the costs, I’m excited about the efficiency gains and smoother workflows.

Definitely check out this[0] presentation for tips around working with Dalle. [0]: http://dallery.gallery/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/The-DALL%C...

That's a great resource - thanks for sharing

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.

So far no-code and copilot have put exactly 0 developers out of business.

It's interesting how every time I come across an AI-related article, it's always "imagine how much it will improve in 2 years".

This may or may not be the case but I get the feeling that most ITs haven't heard of diminishing returns.

The more I see from this, the more I think it's not unreasonable to have AI write code. "Create a user signup and authentication form with RoR that uses 2FA based on phone number", and it gives you several to choose from. You pick one then start refining the requests.

Also, perhaps it can be smart enough to ask questions, like "What database should this be written for?" in the above example.

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.

Moreover, the current Dalle UI already does that. When you run a phrase, you get four images. Those images will stay in your history, but the ones you like you will save with the "save" button, so that they're in your private collection. With this, you already have a great feedback system: saved - good, not saved - bad.

I've saved some of the worst images Dalle generated to be able to showcase just how bad it can be sometimes. And then other times the bad image is hilariously bad. They can probably build another layer on top of the feedback system though to filter that sort of thing out.

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.

+1 what a great program

Copilot is halfway there

And it seems LAION was the “first” to offer it up for free. https://replicate.com/laion-ai/erlich

It is not even close to what Ironov does. More like a tech demo. Ironov outputs a complete brand book and it's interface is set up for exploration and logo refinement.

Fair enough, sounds expensive.

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 won't look good in black & white That sounds like a concern that stopped being relevant for many software companies a decade ago at least. These days app icons and hero images are more important than whether you can fax or print the logo.

Maybe this isn't what the previous poster meant, but sometimes I will say black & white when really I mean monochrome. Monochrome logos show up all over the place especially with icons for web apps. And they are good for printing on apparel, accessories, etc. I really doubt they are concerned about faxing
