I, for one, welcome our AI assistants and have been working with them for quite some time already. In fact, an AI came up with this blog title!<\/p>\n<h3>AI as a source of inspiration<\/h3>\n<p>The current AI fad really began with the release of the OpenAI DALL-E 2 generative model to the masses in mid 2022. What OpenAI did was a massive leap forward in visual fidelity. DALL-E produces actually serviceable images out of text prompts. And naturally, this conjured a surge of fear amongst creative professionals of all sorts.<\/p>\n<p>I immediately set out to procure beta keys for each of these new, robust systems. I eventually got my hands on <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/dall-e-2\/\">DALL-E 2<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midjourney.com\/home\/\">Midjourney<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stability.ai\/blog\/stable-diffusion-public-release\">Stable Diffusion<\/a> which are probably the most well known of them all. After an afternoon of just fooling around, I actually found practical use for them, not as ready-made image generators, but as idea generators.<\/p>\n<p>DALL-E 2 seems to have the most realistic approach of these, and with no additional instructions the results resemble photographs. Because their training data reflects real life and has all the real-life biases and stereotypes, it is a useful tool for visualizing said iconographic ideas when that\u2019s something you need right now. Sometimes you need an image of a typical graphic designer\u2019s desk and not an artistic interpretation of such, to be relatable. Also, what each of these tools excel in, is the textbook example of perfect composition.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12023 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-original-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-original-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-original.png 1024w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-original-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-original-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12025 size-medium alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-vrheadset-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-vrheadset-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-vrheadset.png 1024w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-vrheadset-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-vrheadset-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nLet\u2019s use DALL-E to generate <em>\u201cGreen kiwi bird working as a graphic designer, uses Neural Network to generate ideas for graphic design.

Working with these generators, you have to use a curious type of language. The natural order of your words doesn\u2019t always work as intended, and the placement of your commas can change the way the AI interprets your prompt. There\u2019re a lot of buzzwords that completely change the style, such as <em>\u201cTrending in Artstation\u201d<\/em>, <em>\u201crendered in Unreal 5\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cOctane render\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12061 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-edit-1024x415.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-edit-1024x415.png 1024w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-edit-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-edit-768x312.png 768w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-edit-1536x623.png 1536w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiwi-dalle-edit.png 1999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/>Not happy with the aspect ratio, need a wider picture?

I use this tool often when I design user interfaces. It\u2019s great for populating the mockup with avatars. Figma and Sketch both have plugins that use this service and allow you to specify some basic information about the avatar, such as age and sex.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12049 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rytr-fin-1024x414.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rytr-fin-1024x414.png 1024w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rytr-fin-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rytr-fin-768x311.png 768w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rytr-fin-1536x622.png 1536w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rytr-fin-2048x829.png 2048w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rytr-fin.png 2061w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Generative models are also useful for other dummy data, from names to complete paragraphs of text. If you grow bored of lorem ipsum, there are plenty of GPT-2 generators that do just that. <a href=\"https:\/\/rytr.me\/\">Try the above Rytr<\/a> for example!<\/p>\n<p>One low key example you wouldn\u2019t often think of is in camera technology. Canon has developed its AI Focus for a long time. It uses machine vision to pick the right focal point and keep the focus fixed on a moving target. Apple has taken the AI features even further, and in addition to facial recognition and focus, they now have full scene-understanding. Their camera software recognizes things like time of the day, weather, lighting conditions, skin colours and preferred target. All this to adjust camera settings correctly without the user realizing it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s another discussion, whether you should call these solutions AI or not. Canon and Apple have used Deep Learning to teach their software how to do certain tasks. Once the software has been taught, it doesn\u2019t run any artificial intelligence anymore. It doesn\u2019t learn anything anymore. For the sake of easy conversation and marketing, though, it\u2019s convenient to just call everything AI. Maybe I will eventually be put out of this work by an AI, but I\u2019ve already had to renew and redirect my skill set in this business many times before, and will do so again. Someone has to yell at those pesky AIs for doing it all wrong.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12053 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/tcde-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/tcde-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/tcde-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/tcde.png 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nI feel it\u2019s my duty to also let you know, there&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/thiscatdoesnotexist.com\">http:\/\/thiscatdoesnotexist.com<\/a> too!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s been a monsoon of articles concerning the advent of AI and whether it will put designers, like myself, out of work.
