>>2779102>>2779116I wouldn't place it on "AI" or even the quality of models improving, it's more about finding creative ways to use the tools given now.
When I started doing AI I was just throwing my favorite proompts at it, threw some wildcards in maybe and that was it, in glorious 512x768px due to my PC being a potato.
By now my workflow has drastically changed, we NEED artists regardless of training. I take art with good concepts I find (nice pose, coloring, clothes etc.) and tryy to slap some plus on it, lately I found myself using my ancient animu porn collection to make VTubers, then pull those images to 1700x2600 by upscaling. That model was nice but I'm sick of slightly 3D titties so now I take those outputs and throw them at another model with deep danbooru as a "workflow" (fappe thyme). Picrel is what I get.
I still do it for myself only, if at all I'd upload on AIBooru, if just to keep the training data clean. Once you proompt a model enough you get to know what it can and can't do a little too well.
