I'm not looking forward to people saying the same of coders in 10 years time...

Trivializing the work of people outside of one's profession while giving more importance to one's own is as old as the human civilization. There are plenty of people cursing software developers right now for pulling six digit salaries in exchange for typing some dumb text on a screen.

Ah man, I do like what Dall-E is doing right now, i'm curious about the possibilities, even thinking of using it as a start for digital art and then manipulating the output in photoshop, i'm fairly good/creative at that manipulation side and I like what I can do there but I am a terrible artist, so this is good to get the starting point.

However as it gets better, even that won't be needed and I'm concerned then what that means for the average person, or for me trying to get my skills up so i can increase income, only for it to get wiped out by AI at some point in the future.

That's already happening with no code tools, hosted solutions, saas, GitHub copilot and more.

So far no-code and copilot have put exactly 0 developers out of business.

You obviously don't know what Github copilot is if you think it has put anyone out of a job.

Doubt it, you seem kind of socially inept.

I speak under correction here, but you won't have teams; you will just do it yourself. Like cad/cam software got rid of a LOT of machine drafters and the designers just became responsible for outputting the finished drawings. You'll be the entire team.

Teams of what?

I beg to disagree.

I think it makes much more sense for simple illustrations for articles, presentations and books ("pencil sketch" style). For logos, especially since you'd usually want simpler shapes, less detail, with a lot of readability, I'd go pay an artist if it was for a company I was building.

Heh, and you don’t think we won’t train AIs specifically for drawing logos where not only can you specify features that you want but even the demographics you want it to appeal to based on mass collection of data.

I don't imagine the image quality will stay at this level for long. It'll likely improve dramatically over the coming months/years.

For logos you want specifically a design that will work well in black and white, and you want assets that are vector art. At the point that AIs can produce that it's worth revisiting for logos, but I'd bet that's probably more on a "many years from now" schedule.

That sounds a lot like a way to score the outputs for training to me.

These AIs weren’t trained on logos.
