AI strikes again!

Received an email with an embedded image/design for a sign.
Me: "Image is too pixelated, what did you design it in?"
Reply: Chatgpt

tried autotrace & also a paid autotrace service but both produce less than desired result. I can't put a lot of art time into this without charging a hefty fee.

I see that chatgpt can produce a pdf or svg file by uploading the image. I tried that but it was even worse than a quicktrace. Would it be possible for the client to log in and use the exact same process to make it then ask to provide a pdf?

I doubt it. This is how I got a side-gig re-creating something Chatgpt generated. They wanted to use it as a wall mural, and there was no way that was going to work. Plus they wanted further customization, which would have been impossible unless it was vectorized and recreated.

ChatGPT can make SVG files but the more complex, the more likely it will look weird.

Actually posed the question to chatgpt. Said yes, if the client had logged in then they can find their chat history and get a pdf from there.

15min to do a "quick trace & clean" i.e. sub fonts and delete various unneeded artifacts. Probably adds about $30-40 to the order.

Just a question. and I'm not sure the answer. If chat gpt can vectorize an image that it created, what will that do to the industry?

same thing it's doing now. You can text to vector with adobe products, not really any different. The industry will be inundated with crap, the developers will slowly fix/improve the results, but we are still a ways away from any true threat. In time though, it's not just our industry that will be beholden to the bot, all of mankind will be. For everything.

There is an AI service that will create vector graphic files from your prompts, i tried it out with something simple like " draw me an illustration of a duck" and what it came back with looked like something my 5 year old would draw, I wouldn't be worried just yet.

1-Get the customer to go back and ask Chat GPt for a large resolution file. It can give you one if you ask it.
2-Take that file and upscale it more with Topaz AI Upscaler...it does quite well at fixing the edges of blurry text and even adding details that were not even legible in the og image...
With this you can usually at least get a fairly high resolution image to start work with...sometimes the bitmap is high res enough I can fix/modify the parts of the design I need to with vector and just print the rest fairly large in bitmap without vectorizing with no issues...

Not an ad....but Topaz Gigapixel Ai Upscaler can do some pretty amazing things with some low res files..you can change the level of creativity it uses to just upscale or add AI detail...

Yep, great workaround. I do this too, but really, topaz can be quite useful. However using it is only enabling the ultimate bot takeover. We are our only demise by using it. The largest question is where to draw the line. Currently there is no line, which is the scariest part.

What happened to her hands and feet? It did really well is a lot of areas and made a mess of others. It's still really interesting to see what these can do.

Feed it and it will grow. I take what it does and make it better with my human skills when I can. Otherwise, if you keep trying to educate it, it's just feeding the monster.
