Which is the problem they are having. "Artists" have had so little collective talent that many of them can't even reach "generic" level, and are now upset that the bar has been raised on them.
They also think things like "perfect anatomy" and "extra details" are so incredibly important that they fail to make anything worth looking at in pursuit of it. Wherein the AI may fail these tests, but are still appealing to look at.
The entire point of AI driven image generation is that you give it a bunch of images that look like a cat, you say "this is what a cat looks like", and it learn the elements that make a cat. It knows a cat has pointed ears, paws, a long tail, and so on.
That's how it works. Neural networks can only make a generic mashup of its training data. It's always going to look soulless.
Its proper use lies in 1. the equivalent of stock photography and 2. quick variations or initial templates for artists to work on.
Fuckin' amateur.
Ha! It's still generic though.

I agree. It's mediocrity and lack of inspiration makes it a little more difficult to distinguish from NPC writing, to be honest.
And non-AI art isn't?
