After a sibling commenter very patiently pointed out that I was holding it wrong - I would encourage taking another look at this project if only to try out the Painting mode.

It does produce some very cool results: https://imgur.com/LQuo4UM

Had the press release/tutorial emphasized this angle instead of the wonky text-to-image thing, my initial impression would have been a lot better. This is genuinely a really neat feature. All my UI and discoverability criticism stands though!

The text-to-image thing is cool as well, as long as you can a) figure out how it works b) only enter landscape terms.

I managed to produce landscape - canada fall colors red yellow green and bright blue sunny sky.

No matter what variations I tried the sky was cloudy dark. Trees however were majestic. The UI does suck.
