FREQUENTLY ANNOYING QUESTIONS
What is artificial intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative field at the intersection of computer science and advanced data analysis that empowers machines to mimic human intelligence.

It equips computers with the ability to learn, reason, solve complex problems, and adapt to new situations,

ushering in a new era of automation and smart decision-making. Allows machines to model, or even improve upon, the capabilities of the human mind.

What is generative AI?

Generative AI is an AI that can create something like: Text, Images, Audio, Videos, 3D models Generative AIs analyze and use existing data and input from a user to generate these things. Giving Generative AI input is known as AI Prompt Engineering.

What is AI’s current role in graphic design?

AI’s current role in graphic design includes assisting designers in automating repetitive tasks, suggesting design direction, generating design concepts, and aiding in content creation, thereby enabling designers to streamline their workflows, enhance creativity, and deliver more personalized and efficient design solutions.

Why does it matter?

AI is not just creating art on its own; it’s also assisting artists in their creative process. Artists use AI to generate ideas, create drafts, and refine artwork. Soon, AI will be a standard tool in an artist’s arsenal, transforming the way art is created. As AI continues to learn and evolve, it will push the boundaries of art in ways we can’t even imagine today. AI researcher Sofia Crespo, “AI will allow us to explore the unexplored territories of our own creativity.”

What do I need before subscribing?

The server provides various advantages for creatives. To fully maximize these benefits, we suggest subscribing to Midjourney and Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator. It’s important to note that with the ongoing development of AI and the introduction of new covered software, the prices for these tools may change. Fortunately, many of the software options we cover are also available for free. Regarding hardware requirements, a mid-level computer with WiFi capability is all that you’ll need. Oh…and patience. A lot of patience…

Is this guaranteed?

Nothing in life is gaurenteed, however, rest assured that you possess the freedom to cancel at any given moment, without being bound by any form of commitment. You won’t offend us. Do what you gotta do!

What if I have no experience with AI?

No worries at all! Our community is designed to cater to individuals at all levels of expertise, including those with no prior experience in AI. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting to dip your toes into the world of AI and design, you’ll find a supportive environment here. Our goal is to provide a learning space where everyone can grow and expand their skills. We offer beginner-friendly resources, tutorials, and discussions to help you understand the basics of AI and how to integrate it into your creative process. Feel free to ask questions, seek guidance, and collaborate with fellow members. Together, we’ll explore the exciting intersection of AI and design, unlocking new possibilities for your creative journey.
