As a licensed surface pattern designer who makes patterns manually this video is both life changingly awesome and quite disturbing at the same time 😳

[@artasinn]

I wish i knew how to get into this line of work.... now people with AI are doing it no issue while I have no clue where to even start outside of "Draw a pattern"

[@chinlisung]

Most people are not artistically creative so don't be discouraged 😂

[@audikool]

There is a license to be had to do patterns? Who checks that you have a license ?

[@VIDDTHEDESIGNER]

@@audikool license meaning your giving a company license to sell the artwork

[@ChucknMcNuggets]

Yes and youtubers making tons of money telling people about it, are going to make the competition so steep, your images will be buried in thousands of pages of Midjourney designs from here out. AI isn't some 5 year thing to capitalize on, it's literally a year or two, and it will be doing this itself. Humans are the weakest link.

[@dewimashita9250]

I know this AI stuff is incredible, But as surface pattern designer my self, I feel so humiliated... We are the real designer, make a pattern from strach and hand drawing it our self and there will be non-surface pattern maker making this stuff and called them self as designer... Making pattern not just type some word in it... Every pattern have their own story and journey... It's put effort in it and creativity to make it beautiful.

[@Cluster0]

This is the wrong way to think about it, sure midjourney can great some great stuff but think about someone with less artistic ability generating art with ai compared to you or real designers using it, not only will it make people with no artistic ability better at creating art but it will also grant people with artistic ability the ability to make much much better art with ai then someone with no artistic ability. Use it to make your art better and generated faster

[@dewimashita9250]

@@Cluster0 thank you for your opinion❤... And for designer, art not just generate stuff faster, there is process and story behind it... Pretty sure that person who use AI to generate "art" want instant result without working hard on it... Not blame them, because who doesn't want to make "instant" And "easy" Money from it... But it's still feels so wrong and humiliated designer who learn and passionate about art that they are making... And the fact that AI copying real artist style to generate new image... Isn't it sound great for non-designer, that they can make something without even think about it... Okay, that to harsh, of course that non-designer still think what "word" to type to generate an image...

[@massi7176]

This definately sucks, its not fair that artists have to study years to master their craft and then any one can just make art now with words, but if im being honest life isnt fair, you have to ride with it and take advantage yourself get ahead or you will be left behind, i myself am an artist and technology is taking over handmade... we have to adapt to survive

Illustrator here. ​ I’d even go as far as saying that a consistent style would be difficult to replicate. That seems like it could put a damper on someone trying to sell themselves as an “artist” when there isn’t even one style that could be replicated according to a new set of perimeters. As an artist, you’re hired for your ability to produce a piece according to needed specs (colors, characters, specific stylization). It doesn’t look like the important aspects of that can be created and then replicated to create a cohesive collection. Also, I have to note that most of the art I saw here was basic and lifeless. I’m talking Hobby Lobby, old lady havin’, images. These weren’t at all interesting.

[@Henrique96Alves]

Exactly. I was testing today and I think that you could get some good ideas or try to refine some arts. Anyone can make a generic shop with these ai arts but in long term original pieces will be more valuable, specially if you promote the process on social media. And there is a risk of being sued, bc we never know how close the generative art could be to a real one...

[@mariaromann]

Using AI tools like Mid-Journey is a lifesaver. Kinda like how I use boost app social for my social media grind. Makes everything so much smoother.

[@angelahernandez7607]

A quick look at Etsy will show that the market is already saturated with cheap AI patterns. I think many people will find that it will be extremely hard to make their listings stand out. And getting the sort of volume that some of these other stores are will require a lot of time dedicated towards building a brand on social media. I would also be wary of trying to monetize AI generated images, as all of the algorithms currently available have depended on scrubbing the internet for images, which they don't have permission to do. When I just searched Etsy, I saw several listings of patterns that still had impressions of watermarks in them. Eventually these AI services will have to pay for licenses for the images in their data sets, which will greatly increase the cost of using them.

[@JohnSusko]

LOL "saturated". No its' not saturated if people are still buying. You just don't know how to market so as to stand out from among the otehr sellers.

[@byne2323]

@@JohnSusko Not sure why your comment is so aggro, nothing about what @angelahernandez7607 is incorrect - it is saturated. Saturation doesn't affect the amount of people who buy these products, it affects the amount a specific seller can move. The market IS saturated, there's no doubt about it... not sure why you took issue with that. No one is going to argue that you need to set yourself apart from the crowd, but she already addressed that in her own comment. So, way to add nothing to the conversation and make yourself look incompetent in the process.

For reals this is anything but an easy AI side hustle like he advertises in the video lol

[@howtoaffiliatemarketing6020]

Correct, 'cheap' being the key word. If you create a quality product then you should embrace competition. If there is competition, that's usually a good sign something is making money. It's hard to saturate a world with 8 Billion people.

Hi Alex! I love your videos. I was an art teacher for over 17 years. I am also a surface pattern designer, have owned a t-shirt printing co. Had my own 6 color screen printing press, vinyl cutter heat press, dye sub printers, etc. Basically everything drop-ship companies do for us now. With all that being said, I freaking LOVE AI art and dropshipping!! I do NOT want to put all the time and energy into doing all of that myself, I’ve done it! I still make custom artwork and patterns, which I think handmade originals value will go up with AI. 😉 I am using my highly creative brain now to tap into super creative prompts and unique designs for AI. I also take the AI art as a started image and make it my own in Illustrator. So, keep up with the awesome videos! I appreciate you. ~ Jen

[@Gym_firebrand]

One thing you should tell these people asking about listings and file sizes and resizing images and low quality detail and file sizes being too large is that you actually need to know how to use photoshop , possibly be a painter yourself, understand compression, file packaging, zipping and exporting into different file types. It’s not just as easy as you make it out to be. Even so, once a shop is set up, there is absolutely 000% guarantee anyone will buy from your shop.

[@maryliz28]

Seriously! These images are not print-ready by any means! A few touch ups are def not going to cut it, this is some pie in the sky bs. But lots of ppl fell for it.

[@AmaretteArnold]

Definitely the MJ images need work beyond the upscaling! They will only be 72 or 96 dpi depending if you're running normal or x2 quality, so you still need some knowledge on printing and how to process images.

[@cheeeeezewizzz]

The AI can tell you exactly how to do every single one of those processes, with detailed instructions. It can even provide multiple alternative methods for doing so. And in a few weeks it will probably be able to do so itself with a simple command prompt.

As a freelance Artist myself AI both interests me and really piss me the fuck off. I spent a majority of my life learning and building my skills artistically. I work for myself hustle and spend countless hours pouring myself into artwork for people to support myself and my family. Most of my income comes from digital art and now we have people who have never picked up a pencil just typing some words in and creating artwork. Which that part I’m not mad at it’s actually cool what a I can create. With some proms, you can get a lot of reference and ideas. But the issue is now we have people who are creating art in seconds with no actual talent and are able to sell it for a fraction of the price that an actual artist who spent hours and hours or days or weeks, putting their time, energy and soul into a piece can. When you’re quoted 20 bucks for the same thing, a real artist would never charge under 200 for which do you think you’re going to pick? Especially when it’s basically just mimicking real artists. Using all the years and years of hard work Artist have put into their craft to even make AI possible. As an artist this just makes me sad. So many artist are going to lose money and jobs because of AI.

This will just cost you money. The big sellers on Etsy opened their shops years ago when the market wasn't so flooded. Plus they run ads every day and are always creating new work, working on their SEO to stay in search. It's a full time job for them.

As the technology progresses further and further, i cant help but feel that Ai art just progressively loses more and more of what actually makes art so special.

[@michaelg8642]

art is the expression of human creativity by definition.. so AI cannot generate art. It generates images

[@badwolf2386]

You could argue there is creativity in crafting a prompt, so by the basic bare minimum definition of art it qualifies. However, raw prompts are pretty boring and the real value is using this tech in a workflow to create your own new things

[@Lissbirds]

AI art will do for digital art what the smart phone did for photography.

[@KerryJ]

I buy art prints and original works based on them being produced by humans and the emotional connection I feel to the works and tablecloths, rugs, fabrics, etc. I buy based on what pleases me aesthetically. I think there is space for both. I don't think I'd ever buy art to hang on my wall that was AI-generated but I would buy AI-generated wallpaper patterns, curtains, rugs, etc. because I've rarely thought of the patterns on them as being a form of individual, emotive artistic expression. I don't know if that's a unique perspective or not, it will be interesting to see credible research that looks at consumer attitudes.

[@YoungfolksProductions]

Wow! This is a great video :) Thank you so much for the great advice...

[@pineconey]

Good info, Alek, thanks.

[@kato9886]

A video on digital files for Etsy would be amazing! Side note - attempting to do these steps but I'm getting "waiting to start" after typing in a prompt, perhaps add a note about that in the details?

[@lightarmy.888]

You have to wait because you didn't pay for the more expensive plans.. the $30 plan gives you fast generations instead of waiting.. you have to pay more for more features. The $10 plan will always generate slowly depending on how many people are using the server at that time. Fast generation is reserved for people who pay for higher plans.

[@ElysianFields-nv7wq]

Alek dude, you have the best channel on YT. You do a great job getting to the point and explaining stuff without a lot of unneeded gab. Thanks so much for the info you're putting out every week.

[@sashalawren598]

He really does.

First Thank you for the mid-journey information and discord update on how. Also, thank you for the easy side hustle information

THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

[@aaronhunyady]

The downside of using AI-generated images is that they aren’t (currently) copyrightable. That means anyone can legally buy and resell your images.

[@hollybroxson5635]

Yep. And traditional and digital artists can use the "AI art" as reference. The new creations made from that reference can then be copyrighted. And the original AI art that looks just like it online would have to be taken down..... in theory.

[@MrTHEANONAMOOSEable]

It seems a lot of us would love a video on how to list digital files on Etsy! Thank you for your tutorials, they’re super informative

[@LoriPeace]

I agree -- I'd definitely like to see a video on how to list digital files.

[@carawells3658]

You list it like normal but you check a box that says it’s a digital file that s it

[@labdogs42]

its self explanatory. You just list it like anything else and click digital file, then upload the file.

[@suewolmarans6195]

Yes please

[@JanetDickson]

[@evewhite]

Hi Alek, thanks for the great content. Just a short question regarding the legal aspects: Do you know if it's allowed to still sell digital stuff you have created with AI after you have cancelled your subscription? Or will you have to stay in their plans forever if you don't want to take off all your products? Same with Canva actually. Thanks!

[@alekSheffy]

That's a good question. I can't say for sure, but most platforms allow commercial rights to all of the content you generated under the license - meaning it SHOULD apply into the future. I haven't dug into the TOS though

[@DragooseBlaze]

Your ownership of the Assets you created persists even if in subsequent months You downgrade or cancel Your membership. - this is straight from the terms of service

[@Tanya401life]

Great question!!

[@AmaretteArnold]

What about changing the dpi of Midjourney's images? Even in x2 quality, they're only 96dpi, which is lower than the 300dpi recommended for printing.

[@gregmason9182]

Thank you so much for making a great video.
