    Exactly! It’s almost like stuff like this is actually pretty great when it’s a tool for the artist rather than an attempt to replace them. The accessibility angle would be amazing… If only it wasn’t powered by the damn Orphan Crushing Machine and didn’t need to steal all of the art/literature/whatever other data the corps can get their grubby little mitts on in order to train the models.

    But that’s the entire point. They want to pay for a machine they can write off as an equipment investment rather than a team of competent and well paid human artists. Even better if they don’t even need some comparatively low wage “Prompt Engineer” to run the damn thing.
