Nice job Akshay! I enjoyed this. Been experimenting with Vizcom quite a bit. Powerful tool. It will be interesting to see how they take this phase to the product feasibility stage. A lot rests on the designers understanding of part complexity, costs, manufacturing constraints, etc, to bring the product to reality. Very good video.
Hilarious thinking that designers will get to participate in the decision making process of whether we are worth the cost when AI can generate endless concepts.
I am not sure about that. I think for sure, the beginning stages of concept generation, yes, this will help...but bringing the product to fruition absolutely takes a designers mindset, experience, and engineering skills to coordinate with manufacturing and engineering to make the product a reality. At the end of the day, you STILL need a designer to curate the concepts, make sense of it, and articulate which concepts have a potential of refining and implementing into production.
You took a sketch you did and "Popped it into MidJourney." I still haven't figured out how to do this. I drag and drop, I try to upload....and what is the prompt for img2img.....great video, but really low on "how to do details."
What do you think about AI replacing designers in automotive parts design and all little tolerances and minute details that a human designer provided ??
I think that over the last half a century, the advancements in tools have resulted in a lot of time saved in terms of avoiding potentially repetitive cognitive load. When a software using AI (like Fusion 360 has demonstrated) can create manufacturable parts that use as little material as required but also provide the maximum structural strength, we're saving time, brainpower, resources, and so forth. But this all comes with a gigantic caveat - that the human is still needed to order the appropriate tests and verify whether this is indeed a viable solution in the real world.
What's the difference in the future between Marcello Gandini (that designed Lamborghini Miura, Countach, and the Lamborghini Diablo) and a 12-year-old kid who can generate Thousand stunning supercar designs in seconds with AI just by writing a /imagine Prompt: supercar, high-details, 3d model, octane render, ... ?
Few sponaneous answers: Design taste to choose the right ones, capability of putting these ideas into the context of user needs, refining ai proposals, translating these proposals into 1:1 functioning object... Generating images of cool cars is just a small piece of design process, don`t you think so? Even these cool proposals from ai are in general mixed set of existing solutions, still far from really creative stuff- maybe it will change and ai will do 100% of work, but this is how things look like nowadays
As I've heard being discussed many times, AI has been able to democratize skills such as the creation of beautiful visuals, but understanding and applying good taste is still something that a human being needs to apply. AI can give you a fantastic start, probably better than anything has ever been able to provide - but you still need a human to tie it all together - and the individuality of taste over time is what defines a good designer.
The non-creative portion of the design process has been better done by a computer for the past 5-10 years. This shows that high-end photoshop rendering has been and is a waste of time. The “doing” part of the design has always been a commodity. The thinking creatively to understand WHY someone needs the thing and filtering that through the details of HOW and at WHAT COST has always been the high value portion of the industrial design skill set. Add to this your own perspective on what makes a thing beautiful in its context. AI doesn’t have an original opinion. It selects from commonly accepted norms to derive “opinions” at least for now.
Love how the video was made, very engaging, also I got low-key anxiety about how far AI has come. I need to start engaging with AI tools (that will help me in my work.)
It will get to a point that anyone can potentially be a designer, the crafting process will be gone. In the future "professionals" need to be generalists. I feel AI and the web 3.0 are built to decentralize experts and middle-persons.
I think that's a little unfair. AI is simply the newest tool. You could've easily said that you shouldn't call yourself a designer back when Photoshop first came out. AI definitely shouldn't be used to design every aspect of your project (I don't think that would even work at it's current stage), it should be used to produce a huge amount of ideas, which you then are able to synthesize into a final design - based on your experience and opinions as a designer. Never let that individuality disappear!
@@BRYMMA- makes alot of sense Cos from now on wards we're all gonna become experts in using the AI tools to get our designs optimized and works done and refined
@@akshay_creates right.. granted we all get into designer funk where we need some boost in inspiration, but I have a feeling this will turn into a crutch of many inspiring designers. Cheat code instead of doing the millage.
@@keithdolezel At the same time, it's still the designer's eye which is a very big factor in separating the good designers from the bad. Sure, you can make a sketch or design look fantastic very easily now with AI - but will it really reflect well in reality? Will it stay contextually adjacent to the rest of the designs of the brand? Is it manufacturable cheaply? All that will (for now) will still come down to the designer. It is absolutely a cheat code, no doubt - but it doesn't make a designer better!
Back i the day’s there was just live music. Then came the CD and the DJ. Live music is still cool, but the AI will bring art creation to millions of people. And the market will be flooded with visual art in the same way music went online with Napster.
you deserve a lot more views, this is really great content to help industrial designers.

Disruptive Paradigm shifting has been arising in traditional industrial design area. Thanks for the detail information.
I'm happy I was able to provide value. Thanks for watching!
Wow! Never knew that text to image generators worked with references too. Thanks a ton for the tip and info! 💯
Some incredible developments that were really fun to experiment with! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Akshay!! Super helpful overview of the current AI landscape for ID
Thank you for watching Knack! Huge fan of your work and of Kelly's sketches!

Great video! Super informative
Thank you so much, happy to hear it!
Thank you, Akshay! Very educational! Thank you for curating the AI workflow!
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for watching.
@@akshay_creates Please create more content of this nature! Specially now that AI is becoming an essential in our workflows! Be the instructor!
@@jotadep I would love to! Thanks for showing your interest!
Love this! It’s so insightful.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Proud of you. Very good.

Thanks so much for the feedback! Yes, AI and it's progress are pretty intimidating, so better to get on board asap!
Thanks for good video,so inspired~
I'm glad it helped! Thank you for watching!
Insane!! 💯💯
Thanks so much, glad you liked it!
but my UI doesn't look like your. what happen?
It had updated a while after my video came out I guess - I'll be sure to post a new video with the updated version!
It there a way to get rid of that ugly futuristic look from most AI?
Thanks for the video and great tips.

Don't call yourself a designer if u r using AI.

Then there won’t be any designers by your definition in 3 years. It’s a tool, nothing more.

@JARVIS 91 Really 😂.
Please tell me why.
Those who cant do , use Ai
It certainly is leveling the playing field quite a bit!
