That’s a very interesting quandary. I know most workers usually hate the revision portion of the process where they’re throwing away their work, but they’re also getting billable hours for it.
So if an artist genuinely has future clients lined up, and is only starved for time, I imagine they’d want the path that gives them the most finalized pieces they can share. But it would have to be case by case.
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.
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.
I’m not sure yet… maybe a bit, maybe not. When I sent the AI markup over, the exact words I used were, “I’m going to attach the starter logo that AI made for me so that you can reference it. I’d give the AI logo a rating of about a 4 out of 10…”
Pretty much told the artist that the AI art sucks. If using the AI to tell the artist “don’t do this” was efficient, it probably helped a bit and you’d have a point. If the artist just does the same thing the AI did, it wasn’t useful at all but they got $75 out of me anyway.
People are being very pedantic here. You used AI for the logo in the same way I would use SketchUp for house designs. I still want a professional to do the real thing, but needed something to use to show the professional what I was thinking about having as the final product, since I don’t know how to do real house designs. I don’t see what you did as bad, since you went to a professional for your actual product.
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…

That’s absurd.

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?

Thank you… and what I did isn’t bad. It’s just one dude being a moron that wants to argue.
