> A great photograph can take just a few minutes to get right
As a professionally selling photographer whose work appeared in magazines I can say with great authority that you are wrong.
> There used to be a debate whether photography really was an art form
Yes, and we are just beginning that debate with AI.
In an artists medium there are constraints. For the painter, the paint, for the photographer, the subject. With AI there are no constraints, so it is not art.
- visarga 4y agoIn Stable Diffusion constraints are - the imagination of the prompter, or ability to find good inspiration somewhere - the concepts learned by the model, or the training set used in creating the model But you're right, it might not be art. It's something else. It's one-time-use-art because most of the images only get one glance and are forever deleted. It's an imagination-bicycle for the mind. Art does not follow your thoughts like the models do. It's a cognitive enhancement.

You can literally imagine anything. > the skills learned by the model, or the training set used in creating the model This is not a constraint of the artist, it is a constraint of the AI if is even a constraint.
