First off, stop calling him an AI artist.
Calling someone a prompt “engineer” should be punishable by law.
meanwhile startups: prompt coder/wizard!
please call them rockstars i want to see them suffer the way real programmers did
Yeah, he is neither is those words. I wouldn’t even say the ‘I’ applies.
But…
The AI is the artist!
Not sure what this other guy is doing though.
You can make art using AI. I’ve seen artists use it to clean up line art, color, shade, fill in backgrounds, and more. AI is just a tool. Lots of people only use text prompts, which I agree is hardly controlling, but that is only a single way to interact with AI. You can do a lot with these models.
All this is true, but none of it is relevant to a guy who’s demanding copyright protections and royalties for something Midjourney spat out.
