[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8758711, member: 6790260"] Sure, that sounds like a useful tool for an artist to use. An ordinary person wouldn't get much benefit out of an AI that does the base flat colors. If the AI is designed to be flexible and to make it very easy to adjust individual colors once it generates a file, that would be even better, a tool for quickly and efficiently completing a tedious but necessary task, like a washing machine does. The problem, of course, is that it would be expensive to make such a tool. Much more expensive than to make something like DALL-E, where it's just trained on a crap load of images and produces whole pieces at once, rather than just doing that one step. And, of course, it would be much more profitable to make DALL-E type tools and sell the tool (or art) to folks who want instant art, rather than to build this tool that only a small number of low-budget clients would be interested in buying in the first place. Which is what makes this whole thing so frustrating. The incentives specifically lie in the area of doing crappy things to real human beings, like getting all your art from an AI for pennies on the dollar compared to what you'd get from actual artists.
