| A swirling of incomprehensible image water, others use it to try to reverse engineer and go down the gameable algorithm, others feel like it's a shock. |
It's here now. The ratchet as been placed with the genie out of the bottle. Competitors in the business will be using to help move them to compete with customer/audience bases. Only a matter of time.
I've entertained it, it can't capture humanity and its themes, yet it's an algorithm that ain't conscious, it does not know how to steal. Only the hackneyed will of the master, not the wabi-sabi art of a creative mind. Mere pastiche.
Regardless, the lure of free was enough to try it. Won't paste anything.
I guess it's only good at one thing, mediocre and undefinable, all average stuff. Nothing I'd use to work in my work, only the summoning to make. This is the baseline average that Hollywood, and its entertainment want with our content I guess, to feed to the masses.
Detractors (from the biggest, the commercial illustrators.) of course are pointing that this is stealing, it bogs down to making a living and getting paid. This ain't it, chief. Even though the biggest supporters there are doing it exactly for that reason. Getting paid in money and exposure being their bottom line. Creativity with a capital C and Literature does not follow that.

| It's so funny that AI art folks are like "my prompts are very finely crafted, they are my art" and then the prompts are like "photorealistic, insane quality, extremely detailed, masterpiece, professionally color graded, viral on Artstation, viral on Twitter, viral photo" - Dan Olsen |
They want to make a go viral, make a hit and make a living, quick rich scheme it is. Over public domain art. Calculation for traffic numbers, all programming, all depersonalization.
There's stuff one can't reverse engineer. This is all reverse engineering.
What's threatening? A dmca'd detection system that take-downs art authorized by a bully corporation, who tries to copyright a style for making a number go up, that's something to watch for. They may do it. This argumentation for more IP power will be a slippery slope.
Couch Gregor and the of home-grown artists will do it the old fashion way, with AI helping streamline the process to make art, not the other way around.
