Yeah there is already textual inversion and other ways to "prompt" the models coming up. I do think pure human-level text will stay (and evolve) as a way though. Stability AI already released an updated CLIP model (the language model used in many of these) for example, also the model in the current SD was intentionally made simple so the whole system could fit in consumer GPUs VRAM, it was not state of the art. There might be some interesting statistical analyses possible at the end of the day btw, like trying to figure out how many commonly widespread "artistic styles" there are in the world's total of art and photography so far. After all that is what a lot of the prompt engineering is about. Sort of a principal component analysis of the dominant 100 styles or something...
