Isn't this how generative models are supposed to be used? Instead of generating a sub-par (no pun intended) logo myself, I get a model to build one for me. It is the same as using any computer software to achieve the goal - human is providing the inputs and hardware and software are generating the output.

Might be, or better just use the name as the logo. At this initial stage no one expects to see a good branding I guess.

I've recently seen lots of low effort, sketchy looking projects using "sub-par" quality AI generated assets...and in turn when I see these kinds of images used in some project it really just shows off "put least effort to get things done" mentality...I feel.

"put least effort to get things done"

Some would say that's the mark of a great engineer.

Instead of generating a sub-par (no pun intended) logo myself, you should PAY to someone to make a logo, instead of stealing work from other people.

Using AI to generate a logo is no more stealing than asking a designer to make a logo. A designer will pull ideas from prior art.

That said, can't AI iteratively edit a picture? Then it can accumulate lots of input and one couldn't say input was small.

I think, at this stage, logo is the least important piece in all this.

That's the point. And if the maintainers still want to consider this, I feel that should be done right.

It's open-source. Why don't you contribute a logo or open an issue if you feel so strongly about it?

I generally agree with that..for a for profit project.

Gosub, despite have 2.6k Github stars, has a grand total of 0 sponsors. They literally take in no money. This is someone's unpaid side project.

I expect a designer would be welcome to contribute a design, just like coders can contribute code.

It's a glossy 3D emblem which aren't drawn today, it's like stealing sand from a desert.
