Are you incapable of opening in paint or GIMP and coloring over the undesired text?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

People are legit losing their basic MSPaint skills to AI.

[–] python@lemmy.world 1 points 44 minutes ago (2 children)

It's also not helped by the fact that Windows no longer comes with a decent Paint program. Paint3D is weird af, takes forever to open and I don't know a single person who actually uses it.

[–] abbadon420@programming.dev 1 points 2 minutes ago

I disagree. The default paint programme in windows scales images by the pixel really well. Haven't used it for anything else though

[–] some_random_nick@lemmy.world 2 points 21 minutes ago (1 children)

They discontinued Paint3D in some update. Regular Paint is still there in Win 11.

[–] python@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

Oh, good to know! I went from Win10 straight to Linux on my PC, and never needed it on my Win11 Work Computer, so I didn't know about that.

Random sidenote, programming Paint yourself is an amazing beginner project! It's easy to explain, gives quick visual feedback when you change parameters and is very open-ended so that you can be very creative in expanding on it. I've let like half a dozen interns do that and they were very excited about it every time haha

[–] JackBinimbul@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I mean . . . yes. People who are having AI make their logos have no artistic ability and don't value people who do.

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

That's not even artistic ability, that's just basic tool use.

...but yea that still applies

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

This is always the part that blows my mind, they can't just crack open an image editor to move the project over the finishline? Seriously if you're already 90% of the way there with an AI generated image, just pop open GIMP or paint.net or whatever and make those couple of tweaks. Or, y'know hire an artist and say "here I like this logo I generated with AI, can you do something like this but better?"

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

The average user doesn't know those softwares. They never even heard of em.

They know paint and photoshop, and don't have a license for photoshop.

So they might try paint if we're lucky, but it will definitely look awful when they use the pencil tool to change the colour to one that only looks similar to the background colour, one pixel at a time.

The average user is way less capable than you give them credit.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 26 points 14 hours ago

First, congratulations - I would buy this and I'm sure there are plenty of other dumbasses like me.

2nd, Google knows everything about you. You have to generate the AI image well after you've farted or it will be keen on pointing this out.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 65 points 18 hours ago (7 children)

I wonder what the actual price comparison is for hiring an artist to do your logo or paying for a premium image generation service. At least an actual artist wouldn't write "I just farted" all over the logo so there is that.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago

Id say about 1:1000 ratio but just a guess.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

My gaming video card can toss out a handful of these a minute, you don't need to use a premium service.

A lower end card would just take longer but still work.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 13 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

We tried to hire an artist this week for some works but it has been impossible to find one that doesn't just send us slop from an AI image generator. We know because they are all anatomically incorrect, and it's important because it's for medical adjacent literature

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

ugh same. All I heard for decades is "hey you should pay artists" and "artists don't make much money" and then as soon as I actually need a competent artist they've vanished off the planet.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Issue is, they were drowned out by AI slopster grindbros. Work for cheaper and faster at the cost of producing slop.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 5 points 8 hours ago

Damn, that's grim.

Times when I or someone close to me have needed to hire artists, we've been able to find the right person for the job through professional networks. It's sad to think that due to real artists struggling to find work, that many of these professional networks are liable to collapse, making it harder to find the remaining artists who are still working

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 hours ago

last year the cheapest I could find for a logo with a few revisions included was listed as 40 but came out to like 110 cad with fees

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 54 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

I mean, neither will a genAI, this is a joke. They included that in the prompt.

The price comparison is that it costs $0 to have a genAI make your logo and more than that to pay a human.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

At least until enshittifaction hits big time.

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 13 points 14 hours ago

With the free tier of ChatGPT you hit output limits pretty much immediately. And with the fact that money is running out for OpenAI, I am willing to say the time for free LLMs and image gen models is not going to last too long. There is a reason why Gemini fucking sucks in the free tier, and somehow Copilot sucks even when paying (I am not crazy enough to pay for Copilot, I have it with a work license).

From my money, at the moment? Sure, ofc. For the world, and through taxation and other governmental money collection methods? Nuh uh.

[–] niceusername@lemmy.ml 17 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

Would love to know how much money a brewery in the example would lose in sales having an ai slop logo.

I'd definitely never pick a beer with a generated logo

Presumably people will, but they must lost a significant % of sales

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 13 points 14 hours ago

The great majority of not terminally online people just don't care about machine generated images, videos and logos.

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I want a brewery to make a line of beers called slop. Stout slop, lager slop, etc. But hire an artist to draw all the labels to look like ai slop.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You'd maybe want a video of them drawing it for real if you wanted to defend that they were in fact real but made to look like slop lol

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Not meta enough.

Have a CGI artist make a video that looks like a video created by AI of fake people drawing it.

[–] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah the big reveal is that it was all Kanepixel's new series

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The proper process is to cover the unwanted text with black bars and run DeepCreamPy over it

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know what DeepCreamPy is but it sounds nsfw and yeah let's do it

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 14 hours ago

Plausibly Reconstruct Anime-style Artworks with Deep Neural Networks.

By year 2326 it'll be Johnson's Brewing Co. Co. co.

Simply the echo in the mountains, that's creative

[–] BossDj@piefed.social 15 points 18 hours ago

That's some solid viral marketing

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I recommend starting with a low-FODMAP diet if you don't want that kind of fermentation.

Also, buddy, no, you aren't making "your own" logo; that shit's in the public domain by nature of how it was created.
