    Going from

    as someone who lacks the skills to draw I’ve found it very helpful in some situations to create images way beyond my ability to create

    to

    It’s just another tool that it takes skill to use at the right times

    in a span of less than a paragraph. C’mon, it’s not a tool that takes skill. It’s a substitute for skill. Knowing when and how it’s appropriate to use AI for art is as much a skill as knowing when to wear a hole-ridden perma-stained Coldplay T-shirt. You could contrive an answer other than “never” but nobody will be impressed either by you doing so or actually wearing the shirt.

      @bitofhope there is a big difference between art and generative AI and I’d never claim otherwise (at this stage of development, and likely for a long time). But it is useful, but you need to know the limits. If it’s something professional I’d likely not touch it for many reasons. If it’s something hobby related… I’d give it a go. There is skill in being able to craft good inputs, and knowing what the limitations are of the system being used, and when you really shouldn’t even bother trying.
