I look at these works of art created by artificial intelligence and I think: yes, it’s beautiful, yes, it’s good, but… What’s the point? Where’s the story, where’s the work, if everything is so simple, then what’s the point? It’s no better than a store where you come and buy, although no, you come, take everything you need for free and leave. I don’t see any value in it, it’s just boring.
Agree with the sentiment, as someone who dabbles in worldbuilding. Sometimes, I’d like a picture that doesn’t readily exist to accompany the text, so I get Stable Diffusion to generate one on my machine. A picture is worth a thousand words, and even if the audience is just myself, it gets the point across much better than anything I could draw myself. While I would like to work on my art skills or pay for commissions, it would starve me of the spare time and resources that allow me to worldbuild in the first place.
Yes, now it may seem good, but because of this there may be gigantic competition, because of which it will be mainly large companies that will earn money, and not indie authors.
