@coupland @i0null There are vast differences in what humans do and “AI” do. “AI” image generation is most similar to collage processes, but with no actual intelligence.

One very fundamental (though by no means the only) way it is different is that current “AI” models require retraining on source data before new material can be used, and has no integrated feedback.

The “intelligence” you perceive is in the mind of the operator and your own mind. It is no more intelligent than a loom.
