Part of the Transcript -

**Brittik:** Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Learning Curve podcast. I'm Brittik. And I'm Aravind. And today we are going to talk about how you can be a zero skill graphic designer.

**Aravind:** Maybe you need a cover art for your blog post, or you need one simple square photo for your episodes cover art. But how would you do it if without any design?

**Brittik:** You would need a designer friend who you have to ask like by Pan Day, please. You know? And then maybe he makes it for you, maybe you like it or not, you don't have a choice, you accept it, , and then you use it because you don't have the skills . So that is one [00:01:00] scenario. And the other scenario is you could use something like Dali or Stable Diffusion, you.

Spend some time with the prompts and refine your prompts in such a way where you actually get the output that you want, or even something better that you couldn't even have imagined.

**Brittik:** you like. What does it mean for graphic designers especially, what does it mean for your, that friend from whom you would ask like by Bakavi?

Like would he come

**Aravind:** to you [00:02:00] for help?

**Brittik:** This is interesting. I think your designer friend would be happy that you are not bugging him to constantly make something for you like, Huh, Now I can finally focus on my work. I can focus on, you know, the different skills that your friend can work on rather than having to make things for every.

So I think it frees up time for graphic designers where I, I understand they're losing, They might be losing some business because of it, definitely no doubt in it, but they would still be having enough time to craft their prompt skills, like they could, you know, give prompts to del your stable diffusion and come up with something even more creative.

Using their hands as you know, like their tools, Photoshop and all the knowledge. That is one part. The most important skill is imagination. Imagination is not something you come up or you can create in one day. [00:03:00] Imagination of people who can draw, who can create things that is beautiful and the problems they can come.

It's crazy. Like the prompts they give to their brain to come up with things, basically even to our brain, we are giving, like we are thinking and thinking is a kind of prompt that okay, brain think, what would it look like this? And then you try it and then you see if it looks good or you try something else.

So that prompt they're giving to ai and AI is generating things so them, so I'm sure that they're making things that, that we can't think of. Everyone's level playing field is being upgraded. Now, people who could not do graphic designing now can, people who had imagination but did not, could not draw, were not very artistic enough to draw.

Now they can, people who could do these things, now they are at an even upper level where they can think, they can imagine the whole [00:04:00] picture, and they can come up with beautiful prompts that we can't, but they.

In this episode of Learning Curve, Aravind and Brittik discuss the state of AI and how it makes sense for Indian developers to use open source AI to build products. They also talk about how AI is changing the world of development and the potential for AI to replace developers in the future.
