        They can. However, what we mean by regurgitate is that they are mixing all those images into a colourful vomit, and vomit-inducing mess that is obvious. Nothing original, nothing ‘made’, just pure regurgitated slop.

          Regardless of the ethical implications, you can’t honestly say that what they do isn’t a technological marvel.

          You can ask for a picture of just about anything, and if you’re specific enough you can get it to generate exactly what’s in your head.

            Yes, we can and we will. It doesn’t do what you’re saying it does. We have seen some of the images it generates and a prompt for it, they were off a lot.

            Also, even if it did, that’s not the point of art. Good art is a process, failing is as much a part of that process, as is compromising, working around things etc. What such a thing would do is remove all that and create something lacking beauty, a ‘soul’ to be poetic about it.

            All such things would do if they could do it ‘perfectly’ is teach people to never learn how to do things themselves which is a shame, because it would be wonderful to see what they could create if they had learned to actually make art instead of relying on something ‘perfect’ though as we’ve established, it isn’t.

              Go ask a commission artist if the client is always happy with the very first piece they produce.

              Yes, that’s what the person prompting the AI is doing

              AI is a tool. There are people who still don’t think digital artists are actually artists because they use more advanced tools than physical ones.

              But the fact is that with trial and error, AI can let a person get something inspired from their head into the real world.
