          Why do you need images that are so perfect? Why can’t you just be fine with doodling?

          The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, “If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.” Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.

        Look, if you’re not an artist, instead of looking to a machine, cooperate with someone else. AI image generation is not worth your time. Ask yourself this: What is the point of art? What reason do we have to make pictures at all?

        This is not to be smug or to “pwn” you. Legitimately think about this; I’d recommend twenty seconds.

        See if any of the reasons given apply to AI art. To me, they don’t. Art itself is opposed to Taylorism, so applying Taylorist principles to art doesn’t work.
