The question about the legal and moral aspects of training on works of other artists is related, but a different discussion.

    How did they not create anything? They inserted a prompt into the tool and received a picture.

      They had a rough idea and left it to the AI to make any sense of it and “create” something.

        Painters can either splash paint on the canvas or spend months working on a photorealistic masterpiece. There’s absolutely a difference in skill needed for both but to claim the former is not art would also be gatekeeping.

        That argument also disregards the actual difficulty of crafting the perfect prompt to get the AI to output what you want it to. Anyone can create pictures with it but it’s not trivial to get it to create exactly what you want.

          I would like to hear what you consider a perfect prompt.

            Perfect is probably exaggerated but what I mean is the promp that produces the exact outcome you were looking for. Generative AI can produce very high quality pictures with a simple prompt but if you’re an artist with an exact vision in mind, it not so easy anymore to get AI to produce that for you.

              There isn’t really the exact outcome one was looking for. Not even with a super detailed prompt aided by a control net. LLMs are super imprecise here.
