I already said it can be a viable tool and addition to an artist's work; my point is that on its own, using LLM output directly with no further interaction is like taking random photographs, I mean completely random photographs no framing or lighting considerations or anything of the sort, just flashing the bulb a bunch of times with no further decisions made (yeah yeah that itself could be an intentional art project if we go down that rabbit hole I know I know).

The pic you provided had enough artist input in its parameters to be like an artfully-taken photograph.

I go with Marx on this and stress that the problem isn't the means of production but who controls it.

No arguments from me there.
