      I’m not gonna argue that it’s up to par with the skill of traditional artists, but it does take skill. You don’t just type, “Hobby Lobby, Baphomet” and get a ton of perfect pictures. If you don’t wanna call that artistic, you do you, but it’s not skill-less.

      That’s on the editor and, at large, the public’s misconception. We can establish categories, creator labels and whatever we need to do to satisfy our egos, but make no mistake; generating “good” AI art is difficult. Generating the best quality work requires good knowledge of prompting syntax and usually some basic Photoshop skills for preprocessing and ControlNet.

      I can also use my own sketch art as the ControlNet. It’s just a new powerful tool and another new digital medium. This time it’s colored by the gatekeeping sentiment that LESS talented individuals might produce art that is good. Which is an absurd way of thinking.

        Laugh all you want but programmers have just been glorified “people who can Google really well” for years now, that’s exactly what we’re already describing here. And we do get paid well.
