Do you also think that using a camera is like hiring someone to draw a picture for you?

  Are you honestly comparing taking a photograph (and "properly", i.e. thinking about lighting and composition and such, versus firing off a snapshot on your phone) with typing "Make me a picture of Trump riding a dragon"?

    Are you genuinely equating the profound and labor-intensive process of painting, with its meticulous brushstrokes, profound understanding of lighting, composition, and the tactile relationship between artist and canvas, to the trivial button pressing of photography?

      Photography is an art in itself. Describing a picture to a computer is not. The two are not comparable

        That's what _you_ just did. I'm merely pointing out why it's stupid.

    This comparison doesn't work because when you talk about photography, you say you need to do it "properly", but you don't apply that same logic to prompt crafting. Typing "Make me a picture of Trump riding a dragon" is not "proper" use of generative AI.

It takes different skills depending on how deep you want to go. Try setting up your own video creating lab using stable diffusion to generate frames. It can make AI videos, you also need to have a lot of Linux dev op skills and python skills..

I did in fact make the twitter thread. The images I used in said thread were generated using midjourney, which I stated here and in the thread (which I made, by tweeting).

  I appreciate you being straight up about it. I wasn’t trying to be harsh, and I apologize for not being clear. I find the terminology used when using ai to create things interesting. “I wrote this using X” versus the never used “I instructed X to write this for me”.
