Then you adjust the eye color to the shade you want, maybe tweaking the shape.  You move on to the hair color, until it's the shade you want.  Adjust the shape and length of the hair, perhaps dropping a bit of a curl across the forehead. And on and on until your vision of the artwork has been achieved.  That's not AI art. It's human art.Using AI in method 2 reduces the AI to being a tool used to achieve your vision, no different than other human artists use the tools of paint, charcoal, paper, canvas, paint brushes, etc. to achieve their vision.  The result of method 2 is not going to be AI art. It's human art using an AI tool.At this point, though, a lot of people are throwing the baby out with the bathwater and just lumping both methods together and treating it like method 1, when method 2 is nothing like method 1. I also don't know if at this point there's a way to tell the two methods apart.  If there's not, then you need to disallow all AI use in art until a method is created.  If there is a way, then I am very much against AI created artwork, but very much okay with AI as a tool to achieve the artwork vision of the human using the tool.</blockquote>
