One missing dimension for this comparison is how long it takes to get results.

I've been using Imagen/Parti/Stable Diffusion already as a replacement for "clip art" because it takes ~15 seconds to get results and they are free. Fiverr takes at least 100 times that long and costs $10.

For tasks where the exact content isn't important and you can't invest more than a few seconds or wait a more than a few seconds for results, generative models are already a great solution.



Wait, 'Fiver[r]' costs $10? I assumed it was.. a fiver. Did it start off making sense and inflate?


I believe the creator sets their own rates on fiverr.


Some can be had free, but I quickly run up against usage limits and end up paying for it.


There are no usage limits if you happen to have a gaming PC.


It also takes less than 10 minutes on PC.


You can’t use Imagen/Parti unless you work at Google, so it sounds like he’s getting paid for it.


Would love to see a similar comparison of fiverr vs AI but for clip art!
