    Haha… I started an LLC on Wednesday. I had AI generate a (temporary) company logo for me.

    Yesterday, I sent that logo to a real artist and asked them to re-make and improve it because I’m not planning on using AI shit.

    If I can afford to spend $75 on a side hustle, any real company that I’m buying shit from better at least be doing the same.

      Except, you literally are describing using AI to save yourself the cost of several rounds of revisions with a graphic designer…

        … and then paying a designer…

        It’s a side business with $0 in income. There’s no fucking way I’m going more than 2 rounds on revisions as it is. If it’s more than that, I’ll do the art myself and it’ll be shit; but better than nothing. Simply not worth it at $0 income. If AI wasn’t an option to get things started, the artist wouldn’t be getting paid at all because I wouldn’t be hiring an artist.

          I don’t think there’s anything actually wrong with what you did, but I also don’t think you should kid yourself that you didn’t use AI shit for your business just because it wasn’t the final logo.

            That’s absurd.

            There’s a possibility that the artist might come back to me with something different from the AI mockup. We don’t know that yet. I only told them that the logo needs three specific components.

            If I ask an AI to give me a premise for a book, write the entire book, delete it before anyone ever reads it, decide on a different premise and write a different book, did I use AI to write the book that people are going to read? No.

              So like you didn’t find it useful at all for your business? Like not even to help you clarify your vision to a graphic designer?
