Incredible. In the time I'd spend creating one image that exactly fits my or my client's needs or buying a high quality stock photo, I can generate literally millions of photorealistic, unappealing, images that would require a skilled commercial artist to make useful for all but the most throwaway uses. What about for some high-volume throwaway use case? I generated like 5 images before I got a 3/4 shot instead of a full-body shot. bzzzzzzzt. Trying to 'wing it' with engineers doing what designers should be doing is a bad enough when you're just making regular interfaces, but when you're trying to sell a commercial art product, you need people with subject matter expertise. No matter how cool the technology is, and no matter how well it theoretically serves a commercial art customer base, if you're selling art, it's going to be critiqued as such. Hope you've got a thick skin.
