‘It’s too powerful a technology’

  • Absolutely. Just yesterday I tried asking stable diffusion to draw me “An elephant and a monkey dance while two cheetahs drink punch. The elephant and monkey look very happy. The cheetahs look bored.”

    It drew me two elephants with monkey hair and two cheetahs. No punch, no dance.

    If what you ask is somewhere in the bank of images it will draw it. But if what you ask is a situation the AI has never encountered before in any image, it will fail to invent it.

    If all artists used AI we would be stuck on a loop of content that is not novel. Years from now we would stop seeing amazing incredible art. There would be no evolution at all in the styles.

    I am glad that there are artists who continue to draw without AI even if it must be hard for them.
