I worked at an ai startup that was trying to generate products to sell. The AI engineers didn’t understand that the image isn’t useful, but only good for judging whether the design looks good. It needs to spit out json schematics for the product in a way a specific manufacturer can understand.

There’s also the problem that AI can’t be specific. I can’t design merch with a specific video game logo or band name. The output always has that “AI dream residue”.

This is a useful tool only for creative inspiration.
