That's why artist should incorporate gen ai into their workflows. They have the artistic eye and separate the slop from the gold better than non artistic people. Also knowing composition and etc helps getting better results from Stable Diffusion, Flux and etc.

I remember when 3D CG was new and it got so much hate for not being "real art". I heard the same drama happened when Photoshop and Illustrator hit the market, they weren't considered "real art".

artists like making art and having some sense of intentionality, rather than just typing stuff in and then messing with it. that's the difference between cg and ai. you cannot cut intentionality out of the process and then just do tweaks to have it not be slop, at that point you cease saving time.
