  1. No argument about a subscription model but for AI generative functionality it makes sense to have it as an add-on fee since everytime an image is produced there is a charge from the AI service that Canva uses. So keep the one time fee for the base functionality of affinity apps and if you want generative fill then you'll have to pay for it. That seems fair IMO and should be a non issue for anyone who is against AI imagery.
  2. I'm hoping or assuming, since canva already has generative fill/expand functionality and they're the same company as Affinity, that these features will somehow be integrated into Affinity apps as a "pro" subscription add on which also includes a canva pro account.
  3. Anyhow for my usage, and many others, AI is a tool. As an artist myself I can see why people would have an issue with calling visuals produced by AI “art” but at the same time I have bills to pay and mouths to feed including my own. If im going to fully jump ship from adobes services the next service needs to provide a certain list of tools which now has evolved to generative Ai fill and affinity at the moment is there and is not getting my money
  4. I wouldn't call it giving in, I'd call it adapting. I'd call it being agile. If you have a family to feed or bills to be paid I'd call it being responsible. And again AI isn't art. AI "creates" art like a paint brush creates art. It still needs direction and input. Also someone whose never ever used an Ai prompt or has never even heard of an ai prompt will not be able to create what a experience AI "artist" can create. If you think so I'd question your experience using AI to create visuals.
  5. When it comes to creating "art" I do appreciate, although not perfect, how instagram forces posts to call out when someone uses AI to create the imagery. That being said, as far as a business goes, if there's a demand for AI generated artwork and a "real" artist refuses to create AI work and suffers financially because of it I think there's only the artist to blame. There's a reason why the phrase "broke artist" exists. Also, my printer analogy was to compare a printer-produced letter vs the aesthetics of a handwritten letter that only be produced(mostly) by a human.
  6. For design work, generative AI fill for object removal and image extension is a game changer that saves a lot of time. I honestly feel like, until a competitor copies the functionality, that it almost justifies adobes monthly subscription price. As far as artists go, AI is a tool like a printer is a tool when used to print a letter versus someone creating a handwritten letter.
  7. I think it would make sense to just have canva integrated into and just use their AI software.
  8. As a designer I feel the same way about how AI isn’t as big of a threat as people make it seem. As a beginner I thought design was mostly making cool looking visuals and for those folks AI is a threat. A good or experienced designer IMO is not only concerned with the visual side but also what is being communicated. That’s where the real value is. AI tools will make that end result easier to get to for the experienced designer but can only be mimicked by AI alone.
  9. Since this thread has been created affinity has been bought by canva which uses some generative Ai functionality. Hopefully they can plug some of that into there apps. Currently my job pays for an adobe subscription and I really find the AI stuff extremely useful when it comes to removing object or expanding backgrounds, at least for the type of design work that I do.
  10. This would help so much. It’s jarring to switch from keyboard + mouse mode to pinch to navigate mode
  11. Followed and retweeted, liked and reposted. Looking forward to knocking out some projects with designer/photo
