And you are free to search through the whole catalog of google results until you find an owl that looks exactly like you want. Though this is going to get harder as you want something more specific than a simple owl.

But the approach for stable diffusion is just as easy whether you want just "an owl", or "an owl in X's style with A, B, and C"

Changing the prompt until it generates what I want is not that different from changing my search terms until the result I want is closer to the top.

Now, I should of course note that search engines already employ ML techniques to actually interpret search terms, so to some extent the point is moot - ML is important to actually solving this problem.

But searching on google doesn't "generate" anything, If your image isn't on the web, there's nothing to bring "closer to the top".

Sure, but chances are, it is already on the web.

And of course, it's also possible that the image I want can't be generated by SD/DALL-E/etc.
