It is, yes. For example, a neural network can't invent a new art style on its own, or at least existing models can't, they can only copy existing art styles, invented by humans.
And don't call me silly just because you used imprecise language to try to make a vague point with great conviction as if you absolutely knew what you're talking about, when you absolutely didn't. Show some respect to the intellect of your interlocutor, will you?
And, seriously, you haven't answered my question: the focus of what? What do you mean by "it obviously wasn't the focus"?
I think you were emboldened by the downvoting of my comment and assumed you don't need to make sense, but I think the downvoters were downvoting something else than what you refuse to answer.
I'm totally with your wife, btw, the attitude of her customers sounds horrible. On the other hand, my experience is that one artist took my $25 and has still not produced what he agreed three months later, and yet asked me if I had more work for him. Another guy offered to do it for free and did it for free in a few days and then refused to accept my money when I explained that I was already paying another guy for the same task so it was only fair that I paid him, too. This was some cover art for a vanity project of mine and I was asking for free contributions but also paid the first artist because he was evidently trying to become a professional. Fat chance of that. Bottom line, if you want good art you have to find the people who are passionate about it.
Oh and image models can't create the art I want, because it's text-based art. Even if they could generate the images I want, they couldn't output them in ASCII or ANSI. In fact I tried and they give me kind of pixelated results, but not recognisably text-character based.
> The image generation models weren't trained on chart images, everyone already knows they're gonna be bad at that.
I have no idea how you could even know what was, or wasn't in those models training sets. Yet you posted with conviction as if you were sure you knew. What's the point of that?
The big question with systems like those image generation models is to what extent their generation can be controlled, and how much sense it makes. This is exactly the kind of testing that has to be done to answer such questions. Just flooding social media with cherry-picked successes doesn't help answer any questions at all. Because cherry-picking never does.
To be honest, I don't get the defensiveness of the comments in this thread. Half the comments are trying to call foul by invoking some rule they made up on the spot, according to which "that's not how you should use it". The other half pretend they knew all along what the result would be, and yet they're still upset that someone went and tried it, and posted about it. That kind of reaction is not coming from a place of inquisitiveness, or curiosity, that is for sure. It's just some kind of sclerotic reaction to novelty, people throwing their toys because someone went and did something they hadn't thought about.

In another comment posted in this thread I tried to get Stable Diffusion to give me a graph with three lines in the style of van Gogh and other famous artists. I'd be very curious to see what that would look like and I can't imagine it easily. I'm left wondering, because Stable Diffusion can't do it. Maybe I should ask someone on fiverr.
Stable Diffusion was trained on images of charts and graphs. It knows what a powerpoint presentation and even an excel spreadsheet look like.
Here:
It just doesn't know how to generate a graph like the one it's asked to.
Why not get the chance to see some failures, too? Isn't it interesting to know what those models are bad at? There's too few examples of that around so that is definitely a very thing to know.
Who made up those rules that drive nerds to rage when they're broken? Where are those rules written down? Can you point at them? Or have people just made up those rules in response to that post?
Who says that? Where does it say that Dall-E and Stable Diffusion are only for generating images and art? Why are graphs not images? And why can't they be art?
Those are models that generate images from textual prompts. Aren't you just moving the goalposts by saying they can't generate specific kinds of images?

Note that the image above should be in Dall-E's training set. So it's seen how a horse rides a human. No excuses there.
Here's the results of three attempts with slightly different prompts:
As you'll see, Stable Diffusion
a) is perfectly capable of drawing graphs, and,
b) completely incapable of drawing a simple graph with three lines as prompted.
Here are the results of the prompts "a graph with 3 lines in the style of X" where X in {Rembrandt, jackson pollock, studio ghibli, escher, van gogh}:
So now we're producing art!
Art that's nothing like the prompt.
