    I always wondered, Why reference the imperfect copies gen AI makes when you have databases of the real original artists and pictures and 3d scans of real things in the world out there to reference, it just makes no sense! It’s like having world class artists in your studio and settling for asset flipping.

      I think it is because one of these approaches requires skill and time, the other requires a ChatGPT subscription and George Jetson to push one idiotic button.

      It makes people feel that they can contribute in fields where they were previously (and still are) useless.
