If you balk at the idea of sanding, painting, gluing, or of all things, applying a clear coat, maybe you just don't want to make something at all. Those are the steps of making a figure, and if you don't want to do any of them, you probably don't want to make a figure.
>>10899806You've hit it on the head here. The endgame of AI images (won't call them "art", art implies intentionality and soul) is a world where more and more people give up on creativity and art stagnates, replaced with an endless churn of soulless slop, whose training data dried up (or more likely, fed back into itself) back when people stopped valuing the humans who created art. The type of person who thinks AI "art" is worthwhile doesn't care about what art communicates or who made it or even wether it is good, they only care that more stuff exists.
For example, take this AI attempt at a Calvin and Hobbes strip. The only type of person who would enjoy it or celebrate it is someone who cares only that MORE stuff that looks like Calvin and Hobbes exists. It lacks the sense of humor, the concept, the flow, Bill Watterson's touch, and pretty much everything else that makes a C+H comic.
