I think these tools are much more like a calculator for what is the mechanical part of the human arts - writing, visualization, and others (beyond that I think those use cases are not that interesting, there’s a whole non linear optimization angle I think gets lost in the LLM noise). The “art” they produce on their own with minimal ingenuity is boring. But they also democratize the mechanical skill of rendering images and language, and the intent and manipulation of the semantic space through language, inpainting, LORA, etc - that’s all human induced and human creativity. I think we will find in our future we will be awash in brilliant human arts, assisted by machines, being used to amplify the creativity of people who were before hindered by their skill at the craft of art or the mechanics of writing, much as many brilliant mathematicians and physicists are poor at arithmetic and are greatly assisted by machines in their day to day work.
