AI (Artificial Intelligence) has advanced significantly and now seems to touch every business, we recently asked a question regarding icons and their future in community forums on Reddit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the discussion : <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that AI has taken the globe by storm and appears to be capable of anything a human can think of, I wonder if the icon industry can endure. I read a news release the other day that stated that Blockade Labs and Intel are working together to introduce the Diffusion Model, which would allow for the creation of 360-degree views and images. There must be a ton of AI programs on the market that can provide a wide range of icons at the moment for free. Now what about those who provide icons online? Is creating icons from scratch worth it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A top Contributor from the community responded with a bit of confusion. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

User<\/strong>: SVG Icons <\/a><\/strong>are just part and parcel of what I do day to day, for packaging, for a product launch campaign, for a website, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I either make them myself or go on things like Freepik or Noun Project etc. AI, it’s a good foundation for someone to modify and tailor to suit their needs. What’s your stance, can you explain the premise of the question any better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another user responded:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, you are right – but if you are working with \/ creating a decent brand you should be expected to make a custom icon style and system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For how long icon platforms will be in the industry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contributor responded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably forever. To download an icon online probably has the same amount of clicks as doing a prompt and generating one via AI. And no doubt people will be generating batches of icons via AI and whacking them online to sell in bundles.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
