I really like this AI image generation. It's like armchair travel. I've always been inspired by seeing and learning new things, in life, art, music. I feel it might inspire me to get back into making artwork.
Like anyrhing else, there's tons of hyperbole. "It's going to ruin Art!!!" "It's going to save Art!!" "It's going to ruin/save civilization as we know it!!"
Yeah, yeah, yeah. For me, it's a cool new tool to generate ideas, and find fun images. I really don't care about Art (the art world/market). Been there, done that.
Here, for example, I took a self portrait I drew a hundred years ago and made myself an accordionist!
