Slow June, people voting with their feet amid this AI craze, or something else?

I love Stable Diffusion but I really have no use for ChatGPT. I'm amazed at how good the output can be... i just don't have a need to generate text like that. Also, OpenAI has been making it steadily worse with 'safety' restrictions. I find it super annoying and even insulting when Bing-Sydney is "THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER". It's like being chastised by facebook or twitter for being 'violent' when you made a joke.

The ability to generate photographs and illustrations of practically anything, though, is fantastic. My girlfriend has been flagellating me into creating a bunch of really useless crap to promote her business on social media using SD, and I actually enjoy that part. I've made thousands of photos of scenery.

I use (free) ChatGPT only as tech support (with a large dose of scepticism of the results) so none of the 'conversational' limitations bother me

I didn't find the image generation AIs as sticky for me, there's not really anything I do day-to-day that would require a novel image
