A comic in four panels:
Panel 1. White text on black
AI Design Logic
Panel 2. A guy sits in a restaurant at a table with a checkered table cloth. A waiter stands near, hands behind back waiting attentively.
Guy: Get me a cheese pizza
Panel 3. The waiter returns with a pizza in hand.
Panel 4. The guy gestures proudly at the pizza. The waiter looks less than amused.
Guy: Wow, look what I made!


I use AI regularly and routinely for practical stuff and automation, it’s just in the art department where I really start to take issue with it’s use, because if the nature of what art is to me.
I have used it for graphical stuff and I feel getting from an AI exactly what you want is about comprable to getting from another human what you want.
At least in the way you interact with it.
I understand it can be extremely complex once you need to generate really specific stuff that for example also fits a cirtain style and not just “a guy in a cyberpunk city leaning against a car” or something like that, but all the same you stop being an actual artist and you start becoming more of a manager.
So I’m not trying to say prompting isn’t a skill, I just don’t think it (the output) will every qualify as an artistic work.
