    Personally, I'm finding the more I try to use Dall-e mid journey etc the more I'm going back to hand drawing. It's more direct, more control, not a shot in the dark of frustration.

    It's like driving a stick-shift vs "driving" a car on auto pilot.

    look guise I just broke the record at Suzuka. promt:
    über fast, cornering grip, apex, Michael Schumacher, speed record, drafting, drifting, F1, aerodynamic, perfect shifts, redline, push the limits, fast and furious

    I'm a professional driver! ( ralphie picking his nose.gif)

    • That's great to hear. Messing with the AI stuff kickstarted a creative thing for me again. I'd more or less given up drawing, but now want to do more again.PhanLo
    • yeah awesome, and I think that's important, use it as a tool to inspire, kickstart something, enhance what you already do exactly like what you're doing_niko
    • Always felt it was more in line with photo editing.jonny_quest_lives
    • Art needs a certain amount of suffering and pain lol_niko
    • it could be Johnny, but there is also Ansel Adams tracking through the wilderness, looking of the perfect conditions and perfect landscape, toiling,_niko
    • in the darkroom , with the prints, and after literally months of work, he produces a masterpiece. Vs giving AI a prompt and it kicking out 1000's of Adams like_niko
    • pics in mere minutes. so yea it can be used like photo editing but most people try to replace Adams himself._niko
    • tool ≠ solutionimbecile
    • My only critique is for peeps who are generally instantly satisfied with the outputs... I find most stuff needs post noodling/retouch...jonny_quest_lives

    • There's also this weird right wing now I can do what you do stance with a lot of the technology boosters in the space.jonny_quest_lives
    • As if graphic designer's/artists are some sort of rich illuminati versus invoice to invoice living normal peepsjonny_quest_lives
    • Phan lo has shown useful use cases that get me hopeful for the tech...jonny_quest_lives
