Interesting, seems none of the bots have quite figured out how to do text properly. I've only used MidJourney but it doesn't do it any better. For all their faults they're surprisingly addictive, I eventually broke down and subscribed to MidJourney.

With all the hate directed at AI art I can't help but think of Marcel Duchamp's Fountain. Every new thing gets that until something newer comes along.

My interest in art is largely in the 'disturb the comfortable' variety, so AI is kind of perfect for that.

Don't think I'm in any danger of putting an artist out of business with this masterpiece.

Lol, I've only used this one and as I'm a total newbie to it, had no idea they don't know how to create proper text. It was a huge surprise to me. Since we have text generating bots, I thought it would know how to write but that was not the case. Most likely it needs more tweaking, I mean 2 in 1, image and text and most likely we'll get there soon.

Well, I don't think either. Most likely there's a market for AI generated art, I'm not into that area and have no idea, but I don'tthink it can ever replace manual art or human created art. Most likely will be people opting to hang these AI generated works on their wall but will never be the same as human created art.

I've been using MidJourney for close to half a year now but I still don't know what I'm doing. I managed exactly once to get it to display the text I wanted, but when I changed the text inside the quotation marks in the prompt it never could get it right again.

I feel like AI is going to end up being akin to the Industrial Revolution and all the tumult and disruption that came with that. I grew up doing woodworking (my dad still does), machines long ago replaced humans in that for mass production but the demand and the trade is still there for nice, handmade things. I expect artists will experience a similar dynamic, will probably be less graphic artists turning out generic stuff for corporations but the people making art because they want to and the people who want to buy it aren't going to disappear anytime soon.

I agree with you on that. I'm a huge art fan and going to exhibitions pretty regularly, I mean every week (sometimes multiple times) and can tell you, there's demand for handmade, human created things. Creating something manually, the old fashion way will never disappear.
