I saw through chat GPT’s gimmic right away.

Having said that, image generation to me was and still is magic. Not because I don’t understand it, but because I saw it as a way to get people with imagination but no skill to actually make art.

Having said that, the reality and how it is used is different.

I love it for asset creation and texture for games. As a programmer with 0 artistic skill it has been a god send to be able to do far higher quality UI while not bogging down my prototyping time.

But for like truely unique art... It's kind of a mess. Like try to get an AI to make a dwarf warrior with a Lance riding on the shoulders of an anthropomorphic cat person, who is dressed in monk robes.

AI struggles so hard with unique scenes like that... For now...

I think it's amazing and terrible at the same time. It clearly produces some amazing looking things, but I've never been able to get it to create what I want.
