People are threatened. They are not going to celebrate the thing that makes them irrelevant. They are going to talk shit about it and downplay it.

im not sure if threatened is correct, i think it's more a collective "why?" And there hasn't been a particuarly convincing answer

Right, tons of gen AI stuff is super impressive. It's really cool that we can do all this stuff. In this thread we're talking about a fun toy.
But the actual practical applications are like, small useful tools. There's no real sign we're heading for a world-changing trillion dollar industry.
Words have plagued image gen since the start. Now there is an image model that, with an extremely simple prompt, does an awesome job with words.
If they expanded their prompt and played with a few seeds until an image with perfectly realistic vegetables were generated, I wonder what the next complaint would be.
