Update: I spent $40 on a new AI art generator subscription and it actually paid for itself
I needed some custom graphics for a project last week and was about to hire a freelancer (which would have been at least $200). Instead, I signed up for a month of a new AI image tool that popped up. I fed it a really specific description of what I wanted, tweaked the prompts a few times, and got a perfect set of icons in about an hour. It felt like a gamble, but it saved me a ton of cash and time. Has anyone else found a specific AI tool that unexpectedly covered its own cost?

I was skeptical too until it nailed some product shots for my online store.

Wait, you got a perfect set of icons on the first try? That's the part that blows my mind. I've used a few of those tools and it usually takes me like twenty generations just to get something halfway usable (and even then the hands are messed up). Getting exactly what you needed in an hour feels like winning the lottery.

elliot_thompson, you hit the nail on the head about it feeling like winning the lottery. I'm right there with you on the hand issue, those things still look like they came from a horror movie half the time. Honestly, my first try was a total mess, I ended up with a picture of a cat wearing a top hat instead of the corporate logo I asked for. I think the tool just got lucky with my description that one time, and I'm not going to pretend I have some secret skill with prompts. So yeah, the money came back but my dignity took a hit.
