Nah. Even the "good" stuff feels cheap. It's the art version of ho-hos and twinkies. Every once in a while I see one and think, "oh, neat, wonder how they got it to do that?", but usually I'm just left slightly queasy and with a bad taste.

I've been using Midjourney to generate assets and textures that I Photoshop into new images, such as album covers, banners, and flyers. It has been excellent for speeding up my workflow. My small audience has found a high amount of visual appeal in the results

Then it's no problem right? Or are you just in a minority.

Price and volume mean it still has impact. We’re already seeing that with online marketplaces and forums filling up with high-volume AI excreta, and a lot of businesses love replacing positions with software so regardless of the relative merits of the output anyone who lives in a society should be thinking about what it’ll look like as millions of jobs disappear.

That is a non-suitor. A lot of people like hohos and Twinkies.

That doesn't mean they arent stolen and that doesn't mean they are fine cuisine.
