A lot of people (creative and artists mostly) are fearing and feeling uncomfortable by technologies like Dall-E and Midjourney (picrel), but to me tbh it can end up being the best friend of the digital artist.
If they wish to remain in the laboral field they WILL HAVE to get better at their skill, but these things will allow them to put out better work in less time. And if you are just an artist by hobby, then this technology will mean that artist block days are gonna be less common now.
@Jazzy_Butts yeah exactly, i've seen pictures, mostly the ones put out by Midjourney, that are absurdely detailed, but it's always meaningless detail, nothing with intention, and only a human could put hidden meaning and story in something.
@hideki@gameliberty.club yeah but where is the soul
@hideki It's good for coming up with composition ideas but it all still needs to be finished by or used as a framework by an actual human being. AI is not culturally aware, so it will never insert anything clever into a piece because it needs to be self aware to be clever. A retard isn't clever, even if he is a savant with numbers, or the piano, he will never be charmingly clever if he doesn't understand himself and the culture he inhabitants, which he will never do because he is incapable of that sort of awareness.
