This I think is a valid argument, but I'll note it makes some assumptions that I'm not sure is a given in at least one of the two cases you're discussing--which doesn't mean your point isn't valid, but inserting "boring" in that statement doesn't really help your case.
I mean, I'm not really looking for an edit pass. The output of these models is very very boring to me. You can disagree all day if you want—enjoy your flat language and images with bizarrely diffuse lighting, hyper-sexualized portraits, and nothing but visual tropes.
But also, if you're calling my whole sentence into question in some obtuse way. there's more and more data now available about the energy use and carbon footprint associated with generating AI images and text, including what's required to train such massive models in the first place? And all for what—so someone in marketing can have AI spit out bad content for them, while hobbyists try to perfect the ultimate wicked hot elven princess?
