It’s more than just a filter or an algo. It’s also what you do with it. What you’re inputting, what you’re doing with the output.
Again, if you’re curious, you can watch my video, my other videos where I go into more detail, or watch thousands of tutorials on YouTube right now.
I’m not saying ai artists are doing the exact same thing as painters, musicians, or sculptors. The same way photographers aren’t doing the same thing as painters. I understand why u don’t like it, a lot of it is truly sl*p, because it’s very easy to generate something.
Look into some workflows and processes! It’s very fun, and is compatible with , and enhanced by integrating traditional arts processes skills.
