I've found it very rewarding as a source of fantastical ideas. I like that generating items in mid-journey can break me out of one line of thinking even if that's because it's result is absurd.
They do it with silver spoons, made with a similar process: https://oio.store

190 GBP for a spoon. It reminds me of a certain expression, something about fools and money...
Eating is important. Life, is all about eating, and life gave rise to intelligence. /que dramatic music.
I have previously asked dall-e to draw me steampunk watch-like gizmos, selected the prettiest and then I went and carved it out of wax. And right now I'm 3d modelling a copper owl jewellery design dreamed up by Midjourney.
It is a really exciting exercise because it makes me think about what do I like about the image, what is the "essence of it". It is also stretches my maker muscles because when I design things for myself from scratch I always keep in mind the constraints of my tools and techniques. But of course the AI has no such compunctions. It just draws something pretty, manufacturability be damned.
