What do you think about Midjourney? The (2D) results are pretty incredible.
- numpad0 2y agoThat is where opinions actually diverge between pro-AI and anti-AI clusters - they look gorgeous and human-indistinguishable if you aren't trained with tons of images, or extremely disturbing and obvious if you were. It's like how CGIs and special effects from the past would look terrible today. The big genAI flamewar actually has very little do with copyright or would-be-lost jobs. It's mostly about quality and emotions encoded in the images(deep rage). Lots of tech inclined miss this point.

Someone else nailed it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41872284 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41872284 If we ever meet, I’d be glad to answer that question in detail and compare notes. Right now, I think it’d be another distraction that does nothing to advance the conversation.
