> On another topic, when desktop publishing first came along in the 80s, everyone had a go at it…. anyone with access to a computer threw together documents full of fonts and fancy layout. They looked like crap. People didn't stop desktop publishing. Almost everyone is doing it in some shape or form - from something as simple as drafting a CV, or writing a homework essay, or creating a simple form for their hobby club, is making use of text-layout technology where previously you would do this by hand (with a ruler, and handwritten/typewritten text) and then photocopied times however many copies you need. Desktop publishing/typesetting has become so ubiquitous that it's effectively invisible and "just a thing that computers do nowadays". Perhaps the same thing will happen to AI art.
