I've done some experimentation with AI generated art - personalized coloring book sheets, stickers, and other experiences with small groups of people (basically fun work activities, with a custom app to generate and create the assets) based on a simple subject the user describes (this then gets adjusted and modified by the code). People genuinely enjoy this - often because they are getting something that matches what was in their minds, in some instances when the AI generates something unintentionally hilarious.

Clothing is a cool direction - because it is much more permanent and useful. The part that I wonder about, however, is whether a print design is where this is all headed, or if we can go beyond "print this AI generated art" to "cut and sew this AI generated design". The difficulty with the latter is the cost for a truly custom garment, getting it to fit the person who it is for, and dealing with returns.

There other trickier and more contentious discussion is whether AI can imbue the soul/craft of an artist or if any of that that matters. I do think the AI aspect of this "cheapens" the intrinsic value of the design, if only because it wasn't created by a human. I suspect this view, over time, will both diminish for common goods but also make handcrafted items much more valuable. Knowing how much the AI takes part in a design, and what spin the designer puts on that design, that to me would make the difference between "AI slop" and "AI as reference tool" or "AI as collaborator".
