"It" doesn't understand anything. It's just a very advanced madlibs engine based on a database of a billion of already known images.

  Some people would probably argue that humans are essentially the same.

    Whatever else this emergent "creative AI" phenomenon may or may not do, it's definitely touching nerves in people who still believe there's something ineffable and transcendent about the creative experience.

      Stable Diffusion is literally copy-pasting existing artwork. It's not creating anything new. If anything, this sort of "AI" only makes human ineffable creative experiences even more valuable, because without it there would be no training set and no "AI".

        > Stable Diffusion is literally copy-pasting existing artwork. It's not creating anything new. Do you have a source for that? Somehow I doubt there would be this much interest in a tool that literally just copies existing artwork.

        Whether or not its creating something "new" is debatable, but its clearly not copy pasting. It is basing the artwork on a combination of other sources, nothing is created de novo, but that is very different than copy & pasting

        The training set for human artists is the entirety of human art that they have been exposed to in their lifetime, even accidentally.
