Introduction to the AI Revolution
Hey! ✌️
Philip is here, the co-founder of Artificial Printer. I'd like to share with you the complete story of how we created our AI Clothing Store and present our vision for the future of AI in fashion and the world!
Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger famously said, 'I'll be back,' as he descended into a vat of molten lava in 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day'? That moment feels almost prophetic now, as we find ourselves in an era where AI is swiftly transforming from a novel technology into a dominant force in various industries, including creative and design sectors. Its profound yet subtle impact on our lifestyles is undeniable. The once far-fetched concept of Skynet from back in 1991 doesn't seem so unreal anymore, particularly when considering the advancements in AI's predictive and analytical capabilities. In 2023, it's as if we're witnessing a grand play unfolding around us. We're in the midst of a scenario akin to being at the eye of a storm, where beneath the deceptive calm, the transformative power of AI swirls around us. The rapid pace of AI development suggests we may be on the cusp of even more revolutionary changes and discoveries, especially as we edge closer to the realm of general AI, or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
The prospect of AGI represents a significant leap in the evolutionary path of artificial intelligence. This concept could redefine not just technology, but our understanding of intelligence, both artificial and human. Everyone knows about Isaac Asimov's laws of robotics. Well, AGI is precisely the type of intelligence that Asimov attempted to address in his book 'I, Robot.' Are we ready for this leap?
As AI continues to integrate rapidly into various aspects of our lives and industries, the shift towards more universal forms of AI, like AGI, becomes increasingly likely. AGI signifies a shift to a future where AI can do more than perform specific tasks; it could possess understanding and cognitive abilities akin to human intelligence. Imagine AI that can classify and predict behaviors, analyze and infer from datasets, and perform tasks involving complex reasoning and pattern recognition, currently the domain of human intellect. Such an evolution could lead to AI technologies that understand contexts, make probabilistic judgments, and even possess a form of 'consciousness,' which is currently a speculative idea. Are we ready for a world where our speech recognition system integrated into our cellphones to either condemn us or, conversely, remain indifferent when help is needed?
Today, the nuanced impact of AI on our world is becoming more intriguing. The transition from AI as a new, sometimes misunderstood technology to a fundamental force capable of altering our world is driven by digital transformation across all sectors. This transformation is not only technological but also philosophical, raising profound questions about intelligence, consciousness, and the future of human-machine interaction. Yes, we are already here! Standing at the center of this AI storm, we're not just observers of a technological revolution; we're active participants in an era that could redefine the very structure of human existence and potential. We are the parts of the training set!
Personal Journey and Evolution with AI
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is a very small city with a population of just about 200,000 people, so the adherence to quarantine there was very strict. During those days of home confinement, my nights were filled with sleepless intrigues that stirred my consciousness as I delved into countless articles and endless streams of YouTube videos dedicated to the emergence of AI, especially in fields like remote working and digital communication. It was a time of unsupervised learning, where each piece of information added to the growing dataset of my understanding. The impact of AI on daily life became a personal study for me. Data science.
Those months became my gateway into the vast world of artificial intelligence, a prelude to discovering my new professional path, which replaced the product design work I had been doing, which had become quite monotonous to me. This shift marked the beginning of my exploration into the potential of AI in creative industries. It was then that I embarked on my first ambitious venture in the field of AI: developing an innovative AI system designed to meet the nuanced needs of the internal Japanese video market. This project, initially conceived as a response to unique challenges often caused by old, stubborn, and no longer necessary laws, quickly transformed over the next two years into a broader mission. My goal shifted from a specific market focus to a more universal pursuit – the democratization of AI. This included envisioning AI's role in areas like fashion and design, where its impact could be profoundly creative. This shift was largely inspired by the algorithmic advances in machine learning systems and the predictive power of neural networks.
One of the key input sources of inspiration for my new path was observing Elon Musk's work, especially his involvement in then not very well-known to the general public OpenAI and Neuralink. Musk's vision of artificial intelligence, combining the novelty of innovation with a thoughtful approach to its ethical consequences, had a profound influence on my direction. His initiatives, including revolutionary neural technologies potentially capable of merging human cognition with AI, underscore the importance of responsible and accessible development of artificial intelligence.
In addition to Musk, the work of other luminaries in the field of artificial intelligence played a significant role in shaping my path. Personalities like Geoffrey Hinton, known for his breakthroughs in deep learning; Yoshua Bengio, a pioneer in artificial neural networks; and Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind, represent the pinnacle of research and development in artificial intelligence. Their groundbreaking work in neural networks, machine learning, and cognitive computing played a crucial role in expanding the boundaries of AI and its application in creative fields like for example fashion technology.
The ideas of these AI titans, combined with my own experience, motivated me to reorient my mission to make AI accessible and understandable to a wider audience, including those in the creative industry. I wanted to bring AI from the realms of scientific circles and exclusive technological hubs into the hands of ordinary people, giving them the opportunity to use this technology in their everyday lives, from smart homes to smart fashion choices. I felt like Prometheus, carrying the fire of knowledge within me, ready to share its illuminating digital glow output with the entire world.
The Birth of the AI Clothing Store: The Innovative Synergy of StableDiffusionXL, Dall-E, Shopify, and POD platforms
Pursuing my dream of democratizing AI, I persuaded my friend Kirill to join me on a daring venture into a realm where this transformative technology beautifully intersects with everyday life – the exciting world of AI in fashion.
I was always a stranger to the world of fashion, finding the clothes, especially T-shirts in stores like H&M, to be rather mundane. Kirill, on the other hand, was a die-hard shopaholic. He was my Data-set :) We were the first to think of this. We entered this industry when everyone else was playing with image generation tools on the internet. Our goal was to integrate AI in fashion design, reshaping how people think about and interact with clothing.
A week of sleepless nights led us to create our AI-powered clothing store – Artificial Printer. It was an innovative venture in the field of AI-powered fashion design, utilizing artificial intelligence to revolutionize the creation of prints on T-shirts. Our idea was that our fashion brand was more than just a brand; it was a fusion of technology and style. It wasn't just a place to buy clothes. It was primarily an experience, a journey through the evolution of fashion viewed through the prism of artificial intelligence. It was a space where experimental shopping met representative fashion, where customers were interested not only in clothing but in the future of fashion, making it a tangible reality for all of us. We were pioneering the use of AI in creating fashion trends.
Our platform was built on the StableDiffusionXL model, along with the Shopify service and print-on-demand facilities. This combination showcased how AI could personalize fashion, bringing unique designs to life.

Currently, there are quite a few AI models available that offer the generation of high-quality images, each utilizing a range of machine learning techniques and computational methods. Initially, as I've mentioned before, Kirill and I chose the StableDiffusionXL model, a generative adversarial network known for its ability to create detailed and nuanced visual content. However, we later encountered a significant challenge with generating images that included integrated text. Roughly every third person wanted to see text on their AI-generated T-shirt, and, tired of manually adding text for users, we decided to also integrate the newly introduced DALL-E 3 model, another marvel from the world of artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI.
DALL-E 3 is distinguished from other models by its exceptional ability to create highly realistic images and vectors based on text descriptions, employing advanced neural networks and classifiers. It utilizes convolutional neural networks for image recognition and recurrent neural networks for understanding and processing textual inputs, making it ideal for tasks that require inference and prediction. This integration allowed us to expand our design capabilities, as DALL-E 3 could adeptly handle the clustering of visual elements and the generation of text-based predictions, enhancing our design generator's ability to turn words not just into images, but into fashion statements. This complements our previously integrated StableDiffusionXL, which excels in generating adversarial outputs and managing gradient descent computations for the process of designing prints for clothing.
Integrating DALL-E 3 is a significant step in our journey. It reflects our commitment to utilizing the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies, similar to those developed by OpenAI. OpenAI, the company behind DALL-E, represents the cutting edge of research and development in artificial intelligence, employing machine learning models like logistic regression and support vector machines to achieve new heights in AI capabilities. Their dedication to developing AI technologies while maintaining ethical standards aligns perfectly with our vision of democratizing artificial intelligence. By integrating DALL-E 3 into our workflow, we embody the innovative spirit of OpenAI, bringing the latest advancements in machine learning algorithms, computational Bayesian methods, and neural-networks to the fashion world.
The clothing created by our store is a testament to the potential of artificial intelligence as a tool for artistic and sustainable clothing design. Our clients can witness how their ideas are transformed into clothing, created by artificial intelligence, with even greater accuracy and creativity, leveraging advanced prediction and classification techniques.
