@antlers another example I always use is my friend who is a fantastic writer but was never been able to gain any traction with her work. she tried commissioning traditional artists. but no one was really interested in doing the amount of animation she needed for the amount of money she had. but as soon as she started generating visuals to go along with her writing, she gets millions of people hearing her stories finally. she spends an insane amount of times generating prompt after prompt until the visuals exactly match what she's looking for. I don't consider that slop in the slightest. The junk that I made on the other hand I will agree with. but I don't agree that all generated art is ✌️
