so dan i. mentioned dall-e already in this thread, but anyway, it's back...with a vengeance and called dall-e 2
https://openai.com/dall-e-2/
the short of it is it's basically going to take over as a photoshop plugin and graphic/web design source. it's very good at generating "art", however you define it

looks just good enough to resemble the great bulk of commercial art, while having no spark of personality. iow, a perfect photoshop plug-in.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Saturday, 9 April 2022 17:23 (two years ago) link
it does make a lot of sense for commercial art, for two reasons: 1) if you can either fool the average person/consumer most of the time, or if they don't really care about the art in the first place, then 2) the company will decide to generate free commercial art rather than deal with art burnouts and paying them

xp Aimless!
one can imagine a really positive use case for people, making a living and stuff, where they can easily use it to generate a starting point and then modify it from there, using it as source material, as punster said. but at some point, the manager is going to ask if maybe the graphic artist could first generate 20 different generated sources, so the manager can pick from one of those 20 as a starting point for the artist. and then, in the medium-hell world, the artist still gets to take the manager's selection and modify it from there, making it into a true human/AI commercial art collaboration. however, shortly after that, the company must cut costs in order to have a strong Q4. maybe the manager can just cut the artist out of the process, generate 200 AI "starting points" to select from, pick one that looks decent enough, and then add the human touch by uploading it as an attachment to the template. meanwhile, the commercial artist is in the poison bog

This is an important part that people overlook: generating these images (or AI-generated text) will be as fast as loading up various instagram filters: that *INSTANTANEOUS* ability to generate 200 "starting-points" makes it a really powerful, destabilizing tool

haha, i was just goofing but that's actually the very worst example i could have used. i'm sure plenty of huge companies will keep using the human touch for along time, because it will always help.
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 9 April 2022 18:09 (two years ago) link
huge companies that routinely spend millions on polishing their image won't want to embrace imagery that is basically commercial art porridge. it's the tens of thousands of small businesses that require 'some artwork' for an ad, a report, a menu, etc. which will embrace this with enthusiasm.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Saturday, 9 April 2022 18:15 (two years ago) link
small businesses, big box stores and (big) chains. basically, one more weapon for companies benefitting from american-style consumer culture
i'm just spitballing, but from a purely art in a business setting perspective, it does seem like creative people will need to be more specialized and shift from making actual art to playing psychologist. so they will basically become UX/UI designers, though i guess graphic designers were already filling this need a long time ago?
generating a bunch of art and graphics would need to be filtered through someone who is involved in the so-called "psychology" of how users respond to form, colour and design, all of which, i guess, would be overkill for a starbucks barista/artist and so the starbucks manager would just fire up dall-e 2
― Punster McPunisher, Saturday, 9 April 2022 18:27 (two years ago) link
Fwiw there are already companies that generate ad copy automatically using gpt-3. Tbf it’s mostly for generating multiple permutations of ads for social media, which would be miserable work for a human (of course the social utility of the ads is nil). There is also software to generate permutations of the design/art based on existing elements
― rob, Saturday, 9 April 2022 18:31 (two years ago) link

the more this is codified, the more it will be incorporated into the software until everything it produces will look like an orange-and-teal movie poster, at which point we all go stark mad
