      Boooo, that will never compare to the personal satisfaction of honing a craft.

      Edit: machine generation can be fun but I promise it’s not as fulfilling as finding something you love doing purely for the sake of it and watching your progress over years.

        Someone is going to say the same way a flesh artist does. But I think it’s more than synthesis of what a person sees, its their lived experience

          Well if they said that they would be objectively wrong. An AI puts no thought into it’s creation, despite the misleading name. It simply is able to approximate an imitation of the artwork it’s trained on.
