Request: I need free placeholder app icons until I can pay a human designer to make me something.

Seems like generative AI would be good for this. Any free recommendations that aren't by weirdo companies trying to sell you a "prompt-to-prod" icon pipeline for $10/mo?

Just asking free Gemini/Claude/ChatGPT to make something is an exercise in futility. I might as well just slap a letter in a nice font onto a 512x512 canvas in Affinity Designer...

@quigs Don't know if this is a weirdo company but I got some okay results from https://leonardo.ai (they try to sell you a premium account of course but the amount of free daily tokens was more than enough for my needs), then used Inkscape to convert it to SVG and tinker with it a bit, then used some FOSS website (forgot the name, sorry) to convert it to icon packs for different platforms.
