"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Alt text from source01: A girl labeled 'Artists' is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says "We don't really wanna MAKE A.I. art."

02: A guy labeled 'Art Enjoyers' holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says "We don't really wanna SEE A.I. art."

03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says "Um ... I-Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" She is labeled 'Shareholders'.

04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. 'Artist Enjoyers' Guy is now in front of her yelling "AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!" while 'Artists' Girl is in front of her yelling "WE'RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!!"

It is clear you don't understand how AI works.

Not a single person will pick the first image that is generated. All of them get tweaked and changed before they are seen as completed.

Not a single person will pick the first image that is generated.

Oh they absolutely do at approximately the same rate of choosing the first Google image search result.

It's clear you don't understand how AI works.

It's basically just creating image after image until you find one that looks cool. About as artistic as searching through a database.

And every time you create a new image, you change the prompt slightly until you get what you are after.

If you are looking for something specific, you never get it at the first prompt. No matter what kind of "prompt engineer" you are.

Same is true for looking through a database. So what's your point?
