This was one of the final contesters for a logo for an app I’ve made. It’s really cool being able to create a logo yourself even if you lack the necessary graphical skills.
I’m interested in how this is going to affect the graphics design industry. They already have to deal with people trying to get them to do stuff for free and it looks like now AI can do just that remarkably well!
Interesting stuff!
… Until the graphics design industry is wiped out and the owners of AI can just charge the same as before but all the money funnels to some rich guy instead of multiple people trying to earn a living.
I guess in that scenario we’ll just all become more socialist, tax the rich more, and fund people trying to live their lives, right? Right?
Well, from experience: we needed a new logo, so we made multiple versions using AI. Then we sent them to a designer and told them which parts we liked and didn’t like, so the designer had some guidelines.
Seems like a good in-between! I like the idea of co-operative AI (As an assistant)
Uh you do know many of us run these AI locally on our machines right?
Also the most popular model is open source.
I didn’t know the most popular model is open source! I’m relatively novice in AI. It’s something I want to put time into but struggle to find time for in between other things in my life right now.
Do you have some good links on how this works from an open license point of view and who owns what? I’m especially interested in who owns a trained model.
It’s a newer model called Flux. You’ll have to look it up to get specific answers to your questions sorry.
If you don’t want to start with local software, I can recommend AI Horde (for example through Horde NG) which is a service where you get free access to a cluster of volunteer Stable Diffusion (and Stable Cascade) workers.
You can use those models commercially and all of them can be used locally. The models are owned by those who created them, if you’re asking about a model you modify and train yourself, then it really depends on the original license, but IIRC for Stable Diffusion, you own the model, but you also have to license it under the same conditions as the original model.
Who owns the generated image is much less clear and really depends on the country. For example in my jurisdiction such an image is not a copyrightable work, meaning no one owns it.
Anyway, using AI Horde is a good start because it does not require that you learn how to use the models locally but at the same time it’s not a watered down service like most AI services are. And it’s completely free.
