    Do programmers not program because the machine converted their code to machine language? Same with AI art, it’s a growing skill to create prompts. They are not equal in difficulty but are the same idea.

        I don’t know the cartoonist’s background I was commenting on the content.

          Which is fine, the cartoonist’s background is separate from the argument being presented. But people do kind of go nuts when Stonetoss is involved because he is an exceptionally garbage sort of human.

      Writing prompts is guessing how other people described images. I think it’s a lot closer to being good at trivia than taking a photo

      • Writing prompts isn’t all it takes to produce quality content. It also takes understanding of how the entire process works, which samplers to use, dimension ratios, prompt weighting, don’t forget that there’s technically 2 positive and 2 negative prompts (4 total) which do things a bit differently from each other.

        There’s also model considerations, any advanced techniques like LoRas, controlnet, etc.

        Downplaying the other side only ever hurt your sides argument when it comes for the others to make their case.

          • And yet somehow photographers are still mad at AI users and are posting comments about how people will lose their photography job to something that “isn’t photography”

            Please help me understand your logic.

            It doesn’t have to be the same thing as photography. If it was the same thing as photography they’d be a photographer. What’s important is the results it produces.

            • Every single time they ignore this point.

              No. It isn’t exactly photography, but yes, it does take learning and practice.

              They can shit on this stuff all they want. It’s open source, it’s not going away.

                Open source doesn’t mean much when there’s only one computer on the whole planet powerful enough to run the software. Also Midjourney’s weights aren’t open source, only the list of URLs of images used to train it, many of which have since been taken down

                • And this is just straight up false

                  I run automatic1111 at home all the time and make my own models.
