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.
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
Several times now I’ve commissioned a professional artist to create posters of D&D/Pathfinder groups I’ve run campaigns with. I’m in a new campaign that started this month and did an initial look around to begin scouting out an artist for another and my god. Having to sift through all the obvious AI “portfolios” is bad enough, let enough trying to suss out the ones that are using it in less obvious ways. I’ve settled on filtering my search to only artists for whom I can find works prior to 2023 or so. It’s insane.
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.
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
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).

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

Ugh, I’ve run into this as well.

what was the price range you offered?

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

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.
At least until enshittifaction hits big time.

From my money, at the moment? Sure, ofc. For the world, and through taxation and other governmental money collection methods? Nuh uh.
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.
Higher end card can do higher resolution.
Do you need a higher resolution for a logo like that? How big will it ever be?
I suppose if you get to billboard size you convert to svg or similar beforehand.
Ah that’s fair.
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
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
The great majority of not terminally online people just don’t care about machine generated images, videos and logos.
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.
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
Not meta enough.
Have a CGI artist make a video that looks like a video created by AI of fake people drawing it.
Could be done in rotoscope? Never enough of that.
Yeah the big reveal is that it was all Kanepixel’s new series
