I wonder how people will react when this does become "good enough".
I'm thinking of those that consider themselves prompt artists or prompt engineers, and consider DALL-E/SD to be merely tools that creatives use to create their art, just like photoshop, and how dare you insinuate that the work isn't my original creation...
If I type in "Symphony, Beethoven, dramatic strings, romantic theme turning dark then triumphant, tenor flute solo in third movement" and such a thing is produced... am I a musician? A classical composer perhaps?
I'm not trying to say that there is no act of creation on the part of the user of such systems, but I do think it's an interesting area of discussion, because to me there is some sort of qualitative difference here.
