OpenAI’s new image generator made WAVES last week—and I’ve been having a blast experimenting with it in my design process.It’s wild to see how far these tools have come. Naturally, the question on everyone’s mind: Are designers being replaced? Personally, I don’t think so.AI excels at repetitive,
Right now it's mostly expermiental/to play with. However, for the cover of my latest piece, I used it to create the coffee cup and then to help me take a picture of Trump and turn it into a litographic image and red. This is probably something I could have done in Illustrator/Photoshop, but since I'm not proficient with these tools, it would have taken me longer.
I do want to use it for video as some experiments have been pretty intriguing.
You're back! And you're right, Raika, Perplexity is a rising star. While I have heard that Figma is a great tool for design pros like you, would you recommend that a casual user stick with user-friendly tools like Pixelmator or Canva?
I'm finally back! :) That's a great question - Figma does have a free tier and I think is relatively easy to learn the basics but if you've got tools that work well for you I'd stay in execution mode until your tools are preventing you from getting something done
Have you played around with Flora? (Florafauna.ai). I think you would like it!
Only a little bit! Looks super cool! How are you using it?

So cool! I like their manifesto. Excited to see how you continue to find new uses for it! Will share any good ones I come up with too :)

"Stay in execution mode until your tools are preventing you from getting something done"... Useful advice, nicely put. Thank you, Raika.
i just used it to reimagine a different roof color on my house. crazy good.
