Would you pay for AI art on a T-shirt?


With AI as hot as it is right now, and AI art having (kind of) an aesthetic all its own, I get the feeling that this startup has a high potential value to effort ratio. An MVP would be: - user submits a prompt and an art style - pre-trained model responds with AI artwork - user selects an artwork - size, colour, add to cart, checkout - use printing service and API to dropship the shirt This type of MVP should only take 60-100 hours to build depending on how tuned the model is towards generating good looking tees. What are your thoughts?

You better ship your MVP ASAP to determine if people are willing to pay. This girl shipped the exact thing - AI designs printed on shirts - about two months ago. I checked today and her site is offline. She claims to be working on something else. Perhaps she failed - and that's fine.

If you knew anything about art, you'd know nobody wants a billion-fingered freak plastered across their chest!

No. But then again I don’t really buy any artsy t-shirts. Doesn’t everyone already get so many free promotional items shirts that they can barely close their dresser drawers?

No.

Why not use Dalle to generate the image, and then print it yourself.

AI images aren't honestly all that great, I wouldn't want to pay to get it printed

No, id rather support the real artist directly

👤 brianjking
no, because on demand printing is garbage.
