Just because a drawn picture won once means squat

True, a sample of one means nothing, statistically speaking.

AI can be used alongside drawing

Why would I want a function drawing for me if I'm trying to draw myself? In what step of the process would it make sense to use?

for references for instance

AI is notorious for not giving the details someone would pick a reference image for. Linkie

It’s a tool like any other

No they are not "a tool like any other". I do not understand how you could see going from drawing on a piece of paper to drawing much the same way on a screen as equivalent as to an auto complete function operated by typing words on one or two prompt boxes and adjusting a bunch of knobs.


Also, just out of curiosity, do you know how "back propagation" is, in the context of Machine Learning? And "Neuron" and "Learning"?

I don't do this personally but I know of wildlife photographers who use AI to basically help visualize what type of photo they're trying to take (so effectively using it to help with planning) and then go out and try and capture that photo. It's very much a tool in that case.
