"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Except, you literally are describing using AI to save yourself the cost of several rounds of revisions with a graphic designer…
I don’t think there’s anything actually wrong with what you did, but I also don’t think you should kid yourself that you didn’t use AI shit for your business just because it wasn’t the final logo.
So like you didn’t find it useful at all for your business? Like not even to help you clarify your vision to a graphic designer?
People are being very pedantic here. You used AI for the logo in the same way I would use SketchUp for house designs. I still want a professional to do the real thing, but needed something to use to show the professional what I was thinking about having as the final product, since I don't know how to do real house designs. I don't see what you did as bad, since you went to a professional for your actual product.
That's a very interesting quandary. I know most workers usually hate the revision portion of the process where they're throwing away their work, but they're also getting billable hours for it.
So if an artist genuinely has future clients lined up, and is only starved for time, I imagine they'd want the path that gives them the most finalized pieces they can share. But it would have to be case by case.
