>>50962885If I showed you a gorgeous lifelike statue that touched you spiritually, but then told you it was manufactured in 1 minute instead of 10 hours, would that effect on you be diminished? It wouldn't.
The "vibe", of an artpiece is what matters, the process to make it isn't. I will feel the same je-ne-sais-quoi from a painting than from a highly complex AI proompt.
A whole lot of relatively big artists have taken AI as another tool, a masterwork artist from which to take inspiration. That's the only healthy interaction an artist can have with AI, complaining is self destructing and actively alienates (heh) the AI consumers.
You can make hundreds of "good enough" proompts in a couple of hours with a good computer, but to make those jawdropping images it takes hours if not days of tinkering with settings and redescribing your image just right.
