Are you incapable of opening in paint or GIMP and coloring over the undesired text?
People are legit losing their basic MSPaint skills to AI.
It's also not helped by the fact that Windows no longer comes with a decent Paint program. Paint3D is weird af, takes forever to open and I don't know a single person who actually uses it.
They discontinued Paint3D in some update. Regular Paint is still there in Win 11.
It's not regulaar at all. It features a lot of different things and AI. Also, the fugly scaling dialog remains but the scaling is no longer nearest-neighbor.
Oh, good to know! I went from Win10 straight to Linux on my PC, and never needed it on my Win11 Work Computer, so I didn't know about that.
Random sidenote, programming Paint yourself is an amazing beginner project! It's easy to explain, gives quick visual feedback when you change parameters and is very open-ended so that you can be very creative in expanding on it. I've let like half a dozen interns do that and they were very excited about it every time haha
Paint3D is worse than paint for some reason...
I disagree. The default paint programme in windows scales images by the pixel really well. Haven't used it for anything else though
I mean . . . yes. People who are having AI make their logos have no artistic ability and don't value people who do.
That's not even artistic ability, that's just basic tool use.
...but yea that still applies
🤯
This is always the part that blows my mind, they can't just crack open an image editor to move the project over the finishline? Seriously if you're already 90% of the way there with an AI generated image, just pop open GIMP or paint.net or whatever and make those couple of tweaks. Or, y'know hire an artist and say "here I like this logo I generated with AI, can you do something like this but better?"
The generators don't give you source files or vector images or anything with layers, just (probably 90 dpi) raster images. If you want to get rid of an image element you need actual practice to do anything other than scribble over it.
The average user doesn't know those softwares. They never even heard of em.
They know paint and photoshop, and don't have a license for photoshop.
So they might try paint if we're lucky, but it will definitely look awful when they use the pencil tool to change the colour to one that only looks similar to the background colour, one pixel at a time.
The average user is way less capable than you give them credit.
