Anyone else a little freaked out by the emerging capabilities of AI?

It's been a little hard to escape lately, news of the almighty power of artificial intelligence is everywhere.

But when I stumbled across examples of what text-to-image engines were creating it really got me thinking:

 
"What if our customers could simply type a description of the sock they wanted to see and BOOM! instant mockup!"

 
This got me excited. Surely the sheer computing cleverness of this technology could take Team Feet to a whole new level.

Better test this out. Let's start with something simple...

This is exciting!!!!

Umm....ok.

Maybe "photo" was the wrong approach (although I'm sure the team at Weionacs would love these).

Some small adjustments....

Much more confident this time...

OH COME ON!!!

Ok, so it seems almighty AI is not taking over the world any time soon, as it can't even get its head (head?) around the most basic of sock designs.

But you know who can? Our trusty team of Sockbroker superstars. Tens of thousands of designs over the years has developed a power of knowledge when it comes to dialling in the various design elements that result in a custom sock you and your team will love.

Our design process is completely free, as are revisions. But if you'd just like to throw some ideas around, no matter how crazy (feel free to copy that "Swids" design, I'm sure they won't mind) we're here to assist.
