Ask HN: 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?
- NicoleJO 4y agoIf you knew anything about art, you'd know nobody wants a billion-fingered freak plastered across their chest!
- rman666 4y agoNo
- rman666 4y agoNo. 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?
- brianjking 4y agono, because on demand printing is garbage.
- muragekibicho 4y agoYou 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. The website https://www.dreamweaverai.com/ https://www.dreamweaverai.com/
- x11vnc4life 4y agoNo, id rather support the real artist directly
- 999900000999 4y agoNo. 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
