1.This is an illustration, and not a logo.

  1. AI (or more correctly stable diffusion) is useless for logo design since the resulting image is a raster, and logos need to be in vector format since you'll be stretching them to fit into various applications. This is also the reason behind the minimalist logo craze nowadays - a logo needs to be recognizable in an app icon, and on a jumbo billboard.

  2. AI is a black box which gives wildly inconsistent results, and nobody can tell why it does a certain thing - maybe it picked up something from the training data and now its replicating it everywhere. So anyone's guess is as good as the other.

Tl;dr hire an actual designer you cheapskate

    1. Logo is an illustration. Logotype can be all text, but even then it's usually highly stylised.
    2. One should have a vector of their logo, but it doesn't really matter unless it's going to print. Logos shouldn't be larger than a thumbprint anywhere else.

    Obviously AI will output terrible logos, can't agree more, but some people are selling stuff from their garage and simply have many other priorities before spending on a logo.
    For those people, having anything is better than nothing.
