You've obviously never used the AI image generators :) It takes me 2 minutes to generate a bunch of iterations of an AI image, masking out and replacing elements as I iterate of whatever might be undesired. The result is an image that would have taken weeks to do otherwise (or impossible if I lack the talent).

I hate the self assured smugness everyone in the AI art communities seem to operate with. "You obviously never used the AI image generators passive aggressive smiley face" Like, why are you guys so obnoxious when you talk about this crap?

  Well, have you? Obviously we're both discussing this here and not in an "AI art community" and your tone comes off as trolling at best both in this comment and your original comment. HN is about curiosity and it's prudent to test and try stuff before you bash around - in this case, the AI art tools empowers everybody, and it's for free as well so why not learn it (or not).

    Empowering everyone to produce crappy images to flood online spaces used by artists after stealing their work. Truly amazing product we have here.

        You've unfortunately been breaking the site guidelines repeatedly and badly. This comment here was the most egregious of the ones I saw - we ban accounts that do personal attacks like this. But you've been breaking them in many other places too. That's not ok if you want to keep posting here. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here from now on? We'd appreciate it.

  It's a legitimate call out if a bit blunt. You really have no business attempting to assess the value of a system that you haven't even bothered to interact with.

    Just like how these AI companies built these systems without interacting with anyone who actually makes art.

  Because there is a ton of control you have over the image and these tools are incredible. It is a ridiculous for someone to knock a tool if they barely know how to use it. You practically see no midjourney prompts using :: because most people haven't bothered to read the documentation.
