  • Today, I want to give you my thoughts on Ai - as a graphic designer specializing in brand identity and logotype design and how artificial intelligence is impacting and how it will impact the creative industry in the near future. Is Artificial Intelligence Ethical? Should we use it in our own work? Will we be replaced?

    Logo design has always been a big part of the design services I offer. Just the past month I have had three small business clients send me logo examples that "they did themselves" using MidJourney and wanted me to just "fix" their choices. With one of those clients, I initially offered them a couple fairly refined designs up front as a starting point and they came back with 20 MidJourney examples they liked better. I don't see any way to compete as this takes hold (and shortly they will probably offer AI generated vector logo sets of choices!). While A.I. has been helping me as a designer in the short term, the writing is on the wall as far as the bulk of logo design.

    Everyone here seems really optimistic about AI not taking over design jobs, mostly because of things that AI can't do right now, forgetting how quickly AI can be improved and learn to do what it couldn't do before. I believe that, eventually, AI will be able to do ANYTHING, and it will get easier and easier for us to tell it what to do and get the exact results we want. It may not get there in the next 5-10 years, but you can be damn sure it will happen eventually.

And he said that the knowledge with which AI makes itself smarter is happening very fast and will go even faster the more years will pass.Within 10 to 20 years, he predicts that AI will be up to 100,000 times smarter than the average human. I have to work at least 30 more years until I can go on retirement. So yes, I fear for my job as a graphic designer!

    Game AI programmer here, with some background in ML technic. I use to say the same thing about AI doing the same thing as the human does to generate new art, but a writer with a law degree made me change my mind about the whole thing, and made me switch my stance to 'yes it is indeed theft'.
    The main argument is that it is a machine and not a human who is doing the analysis, and the machine is own by a company who is making profit out of it. The only intellectual property these company are entitled to is the source code of the AI, but that code is useless unless it can analyze thousands of different images, all of which is own by different artist. Effectively, the AI only work with the intellectual property of people who do not work for that company.
    Now does that solve the issue in the long run ? Not really, because these company can still hire artist to feed the machine data and then we come back to the same thing as today. But essentially, what midjourney and OpenAI is doing is theft right now. ChatGPT work because of the hundreds of article it analyze from the internet, none of it written by people who work directly for OpenAI. Their algorithm is useless without it, and they make profit out of other people hard work. Same thing can be said about midjourney.

    As an illustrator I am busier than ever. AI can come up with some pretty interesting and amazing visuals, but if you have something specific in mind then you have to really work hard to communicate to it exactly what you want. It lacks the experience that a human illustrator has. That said, it can be useful when you are looking for some ideas, or if you just want it to generate some reference images or some color palate, composition, textures, thumbnail ideas, etc. I have even been able to coax it, after hours of prompting, to generate some pretty good foundations which I can then use as a basis to paint on top of. It's sort of like working with an intern. They bring some of their own ideas to the table, but at the end of the day their job is to work with you to help you create your own unique vision.

Adobe will have a massive problem because who will need Adobe Creative Suite when/if AI can do everything in Creative Suite. I imagine that's why, when announcing Firefly, Adobe emphasised AI won't replace the designer and they'll steer their company in that direction. The next few years will be interesting.

    My gripe with AI is the number of people using it to call themselves 'artists' or 'designers' or 'writers' because theyve been told they can make X amount of money by putting a few words into a prompt box. Easy. They dont have to be creative, or put in the time or training to know what they're doing. No consistency or professionalism. Just look at the cases of AI producing 'art' with the original artist's signature or copyright still on it! Unfortunately i think the trend is here to stay but i hope more regulation comes in so the real creatives dont have to jump through so many hoops to be seen or stop their work from being stolen.

    There will always be a gap between those who are trained in design and those whose are not. Therefore AI will not replace designers as an average user will not have the knowledge to use AI to create what is considered as a good design, its like canva, there will always be limitations as to how far the non designer user can go. For example, commercially can someone claim the copyright to a design that they only gave a prompt for and did not literally make it themselves, i don’t think so. 😅

      @@thejomah Its not that simple though. Anyone in the industry "doing" this creative work knows, it cannot be automated. Sure, certain very simple tasks can be, but most things cannot. As an artist, I have complete autonomy on what I create, and yet STILL I sometimes find it near on impossible to translate exactly what a client wants (mostly because they like to change their minds). AI cannot predict the inconsistencies of the client, the brief changing. For me its too broad an assumption to just think AI can one day simply "take over". For me, it can't. You will never automate human creativity and thought, and true understanding of a brief. Consider how intricate and particular some of these briefs/tasks are, how bespoke they can be. AI cannot be so precise.

    As humans we weirdly pat ourselves on the back with being creative and believe that's something that cannot be replicated. But like you've said, creativity is just the combination of multiple ideas and generating something "unique" from the inspiration. Unfortunately ai can take inspiration from thousands of examples in a few seconds and do exactly that. At the moment it's clunky and doesn't really get it right, but it's only a matter of time before it does.

The Ai dosent Invent you do, you tell the Ai what to do, you are the pilot. So learn to fly the plane cause it will not drive itself. What do you think would happen if your boss used Ai? He probably would make shit art, cause his job is not creative. The I Think you fear is little Timmy in his moms House working his ass of to learn Ai and likes art. If you dont learn to use Ai as a tool Timmy will replace you. But its not like this is new, this happend before with Photo bahshing.
      But you also have to remeber some of the best art was made with constrains, just look at South park. Simple cardboard figures, that everyone could make.

    There is no objective measure of what 'good' design is- as a painter I have been outcompeted by people who I would regard as 'visually illiterate' in terms of their grasp of even basic aesthetic values, let alone good design principles- but people still purchased their work- why? Because it was hanging in a gallery and the owner told them it was art- and that was enough.
    Consider the following scenario- I knew of an art gallery that sold works for thousands ( not mine, sadly) and this gallary happened to be quite near to a site where each saterday morning people would park up their cars and sell their household junk for giveaway prices ( In the UK we call these events 'boot fairs'.) It occurred to me one day that if I took one of those expensive paintings from that gallery , walked a short way to that site and offered that same painting for sale, it's price would have dropped by 99%- even the kind of people who would be happy to buy that painting in the gallery for full price would not be willing to pay even a reasonable fraction of that price if it were offerd for sale in the boot fair. The painting had not changed- only the context in which it stood.
    That's when I realised that I was not selling Art, I was selling a mythology- the idea of art. The value of a given instance of art or design is largely determined by the cultural myths surrounding it's creation and sale.
    Basically there are two competing mythologies in play here- the first is the mystique of the trained human professional designer, the second the mystique of 'artificial intelligence' the shiney new kid on the block of graphic design- the fate of human designers will largely rest upon which one of these mythologies proves the most appealing to the market. The real danger that AI poses to all sorts of professionalls is not that it will do their jobs better or even that it will undercut their prices- its that the Mythology of 'AI' will prove so appealing and compelling to their clients that those clients may well accept linferior products or services because they feel that using this quasi magical 'artificial intelligence' is what they should be doing in order to be correctly aligned with the mood of the times- they may even be afraid not to use AI because this may make them look fearful and overcautious in their approach to innovation.
    Narrative is the driver of almost all human behaviors, and I fear that as mere humans our narrative may not be sufficiantly compelling to hold the line against the new generation of AI powered storytellers- the very opacity of AI's internal workings and the essential mystery of how it comes to do the things it does should be a weakness, a point of attack that we humans might levearge in our upcoming battle- but in terms of narrative what could be more appealing than a magical black box that both does your bidding but also adds in surprises of it's own creation?

    3:55 not true, it showed that when Artstation accounts put out a lot of these Stop AI Signs, they were resembled in AI generated images as a sort of mishmash. It doesn't work the same. Humans analyze art, learn the structure and then create from ground up. Proportions, perspective, light, form (...)
    Right now AI just predicts, even if impressively so. I also find that argument from the tech bros kind of silly like "AI just learns as humans what's the difference?!" - welp, the difference is that it's machines and you bruteforce the machine learning and industrially process content without consent to monetize it.
    Some people will still be needed, no question. Just a whole lot less. Puts additional strain on already contested job markets. It's like these people for now will be supervisors directing AI workers. Until AI gets smart enough to replace them, too. In a maximize profit environment it's inevitable, I think.
    Maybe at some point when the novelty of AI has worn off, it will be mostly for the plebs. The fancy who can afford will use human interaction and creativity. As a sort of luxury anachronism. Like luxury automatic watches in a world of smart phones. But that might be a little far out, what do I know. Just a thought.
