Millions of people generating millions of images (some of them even useful!) using Dall-E and Stable Diffusion would say otherwise. A skilled digital artist could create most of these images in an hour or two, I’d guess… but ‘most people’ certainly could not, and it turns out that these people really want to.


Are those millions of people actually creating something of lasting value, or just playing around with a new toy?


Is there a problem with the latter?


A lot, but how many people will start with the latter but find themselves (capable of) doing the former?


They're creating lasting value for themselves. Or don't you think they should be allowed to?
