Using it that way requires intention. Developing that intention is hard to do if all you ever do is pull the one armed bandit hoping for AI to produce what you want.

Of course, any tool still requires a skilled artist to make good use of it.
Many of the quirks of our technology, like audio distortion for example, quickly become key components of certain styles. I remember as a child growing up in a funny valley after the acceptance of analogue distortion but before the widespread adaption of digital distortion.
Right now I'm thinking of someone like James Gerde, where the frame-to-frame shifts of AI imagination are part of the aesthetic. I think it's only a matter of time before this effect is matched up with something that makes emotional sense, and then it will blow up.
