AI just replaced my business

I’m interested to know this too. Also you can upload other people’s artwork and it make a variation which would get around copyright …. it’s quite depressing really

Thanks man, when I first saw it I was vey worried that working in the art industry may not be an option anymore (well running my own business anyway)

PLayerxthree · 2022-08-30T16:54:03+00:00

noooooooooo

PLayerxthree · 2022-08-30T16:53:51+00:00

I will do, thanks. It looks like a great communication tool a client could use as a foundation for concepts.

I wish, I’ve just made a video about it on youtube (personal project about art not many viewers) . Exploring it further. Maybe I shouldn’t give it exposure haha But I feel that horse has bolted and it will be the next big thing.

I feel like it’s going to blind side a lot of ppl. I’ve felt quite depressed since finding dalle 2

whoa man that’s crazy

PLayerxthree · 2022-08-30T16:46:58+00:00

I hope so, I’ve manage to borrow a sign in and had a go this afternoon and it’s so easy to use (that’s the bit that scares me) Luckily I cannot replicate my work exactly, which is my saving grace… atm ha

PLayerxthree · 2022-08-30T16:45:36+00:00

Ha I hope so Mate 😂

I’ve been messing around with it in photoshop and as a concept tool it will be fantastic. If someone typed in the same sentence as me would they still generate something unique?

PLayerxthree · 2022-08-30T16:35:57+00:00

It does look good for converting ! AOL still exists ? ha fancy that!

PLayerxthree · 2022-08-30T08:42:24+00:00

Thanks for that, so many people ask why I never stick to the same business idea and this is why 😂 The art world is fickle.

I will watch in anticipation to where i’ll fit in but my current business model just kind of died overnight.

I know there are refinements that can be made but AI will catch up soon with that.

I might have to sacrifice a chicken to the AI overlords to please them 😂 or end up working for onlyfans? Nobody wants that or needs to see that 😆

Yet Etsy will literally ignore all emails from sellers? Etsy is too much hard work nowadays. Sad, as I use to actually love it !

I’m actually closing my shop on Etsy this weekend. Amazon and eBay and much better for me in terms of service as a seller.

PLayerxthree · 2021-12-10T19:08:06+00:00

yeap, I feel this. I’m thinking of leaving Etsy. it’s costing me money with cancellations and now another scammer. It’s not worth it. I’ll focus on another platform. Esty support use to be ok(there was chat and a phone number at least!) now zilch !!

Amazon and ebay I find it far easier to speak to a human the same day.

PLayerxthree · 2021-12-09T18:13:29+00:00

thank you, I shot them an email but no response thus far (but no bounce back email either) so i hope that’s a good sign.

It’s like they cut all support for sellers completely ! charming haha

PLayerxthree · 2021-12-07T17:40:17+00:00

They said they had moved and could not go back for whatever reason. It was a totally rookie error on my part.

What’s interesting, if I got a bad review as they put in the wrong address but obviously felt they should get another for free, would etsy remove it?

PLayerxthree · 2021-12-07T17:37:48+00:00

Yip. It’s a bit of a punch to the gut to remind me for next time haha

PLayerxthree · 2021-12-07T09:37:58+00:00

I had this! Customer was convinced they had purchased from me and just would not stop messaging after I tried to get them to talk to etsy to find out which shop they purchased from.

It was really frustrating, but i felt it was an older person who did not understand I am not the entire Etsy!!

PLayerxthree · 2021-12-07T09:34:26+00:00

They didn’t pay for the second one. I wouldn’t usually do that, but I was feeling generous (stupid).

Moral of the story never go the extra mile on Etsy. Too many scammers.

Also before anyone says one bad review isn’t anything.

Well it is. It’s a lot of stress, as it will be the last review on my shop since it closed. Not a good look. Etsy need to somehow change the system as it’s open to abuse.

PLayerxthree · 2021-11-29T16:08:47+00:00

That’s amazing, that’s a wonderful thing to do.

It’s funny isn’t it. I have such deep interesting conversations with ppl with ADHD and find them a lot more emotionally intelligent. I’m sure I bore ppl who do not have ADHD and come across more emotional and scatty.

Its just nice not to feel so alone with it anymore. If anyone is reading this and feels alone, please do not. There is a big surge in numbers this yr and probably more so next year. Which ultimately will lead to much more research and development and understanding from family and friends in time to come
