Visual artists draw from visual references, not words, as they imagine their work. So when language is in the driver’s seat of making art, it erects a barrier between the artist and the canvas.

  • I will add though, that the downside of AI assisted workflows is feeling less connected to the art - I didn’t spend the time with the image to feel out each piece and it’s quirks. The image appears, and I have to pour over it and touch it up to feel more ownership of the result.
