I think that AI image generation is similar in many ways to photography. The camera itself handles all the fine details, but the photographer is in charge of curating the types of images that will be created.
Ultimately, it is all about maximizing the probability that something good will be created.
This is very similar to AI image generation, in terms of the skills involved and what the human does vs. what the machine does.
You can't compare AI image generation to the process of actually making these images from scratch with 3D software or paint/pencils, where the human controls every detail.
However, I think the process really is very similar to that of photography, as I made the case for above.

Hey, remember those giant wooden trolls we saw at Morton Arboretum over the summer? (Reminders: Here, here, here, and here.) Well, there were six of those trolls, and we only saw the four that are on the east side of the arboretum. About a month ago, we finally made it back to see the other two, plus the hide out in the woods where the trolls make camp.
This guy was on the west side of the arboretum, near a spot where Robin photographed a bunch of daffodils last spring.
So, my mumsy bought me a pro account :]
i'm so happy.
So, as a result of that. I'm starting "A Picture A Day"
It's my way of motivating myself, because i feel like i need to take more pictures.
Anyway, this is outside of the place where i go for guitar lessons.
It's probably one of the most interesting places i go in the week, it's so messy and everything is kind of falling apart but i always forget to bring my camera. Today, i remembered. And this was my favorite of the few i got while i was there.

This is one of a series of images I made with the Bing Image Creator, which is an AI image generator powered by DALL-E 3.
For most of these images I tried to combine multiple elements together into one, rather than creating a scene with multiple separate elements. This pushes the limits of what the AI model can do, and maximizes the amount of human control over the images. For example, I might use the text prompt ‘photo realistic snake plane made out of carbon fiber and gold’.
Here is my take on AI generated images vs. human made art: I think that the quality of AI generated images will NOT dramatically improve, even many years into the future. The ultimate goal of a creative image is to create a certain emotional state in the viewer. - Emotions themselves - are the main tool used to do this. A purely logic driven machine can only create a crude, generalized model of something meant to create a certain emotional state. When someone makes a piece of art, it is always some combination of using logic and emotions to guide the process. Remember that the ultimate goal is to create a certain emotional state in the viewer. Only having access to logic, but not emotions, will always create a very generic looking work. You need to actually be able to feel emotions to fine-tune the work beyond that, since creating emotions is the ultimate goal.
The main difference between an AI model and a human is not the difference in the power of the logic that can be deployed. The difference is that a human can feel emotions, which is key to creating an image (or text) made to create a certain emotional state. The logic that the best AI image generator models currently have seems to already be at the level of what the best human can do (based on some of the results I got, which was quite a shock). The results are still crude and generic compared to what a human can do, because the AI models have no access to emotions, which are the main tool for making and refining a creative work designed to create certain emotional states.
All creative work is built with a combination of logic and emotions (emotions should always be the main tool), and by not having direct access to emotions, a machine can only create crude, generic results. When I make music I always try and use emotions rather than logic to guide the process as much as possible, since creating a certain emotional state in the listener is the ultimate goal. The best AI models have an amazing ability to use logic to mix two different styles of images together since that is a logic driven process. They can’t make those images from scratch, since that is an emotion driven process, since it is all about creating certain emotions in the viewer.
Imagine you were a chef trying to develop a new dish, but you were not allowed to taste the food at any point as you made it. Your ability to determine the correct amount of salt and other seasonings would be very crude and limited. There would always be the possibility of a disaster happening, since you could not add a bit of seasoning at a time and taste it, so you would have to just dump it all in at once. This is the same idea of an AI model that is trying to ultimately create emotional states using sophisticated logic, but without having any access to emotions to guide the process.
The results will always be very generic looking, with the occasional unexpected gruesome image being returned. The power of the logic I have seen in some of the images I have created is quite shocking, but the results are still crude and generic compared to what a human can do, since the AI model is trying to create emotional states without being able to actually feel emotions itself, which is vital to creating emotional states through an image (or text).
The AI models have an amazing ability to combine multiple types of images together into one, but they have no understanding of what the individual elements they are combining together truly are. Again, this is because the individual images are designed to create certain emotional states, and an AI model has no ability to feel emotions, meaning it has no ability to understand them.
Having said all that, there is a good chance that the ability of humans to customize AI generated images will keep going up, and this will allow for this tool to create highly creative works close to what a human could do from scratch after all. I don’t think that the AI models will ever be able to do this by themselves with a simple button push though, as I have made the case for above. Also, I would expect that the number of images that are generated with a button push will keep going up and up.
Now, does making good AI generated images take talent? I say the answer is yes simply because these images are not all equal in quality. To create the best image in a set of 1,000 to 100,000,000 images, and to do so consistently, takes skill. You need to learn something from every single image you create about what the AI model does well and does not do well. You also need creative and artistic skills to come up with really good text prompts, in addition to this. The skills involved in this are similar to the skills involved in coming up with a great line in text, like in books, poems, speeches, scripts, ect. This is like abstract art. I know from experience that randomly applying different colors of paint never yields anything impressive. It takes a lot of talent to make good abstract art. Random combinations of words in text prompts will never create the results that highly targeted ones will, when it comes to AI generated images.

Lighting can account for 15-30% of an organisations electricity consumption and is 2.5 times more carbon intensive than gas for heating. Turn off lights when natural light is sufficient and when you leave a room. By the way "turning on a fluorescent light uses about the same amount of energy as it being on for 10 seconds" - so it is always better to turn lights off! (Climate Week 5/7) Day 64

It’s no surprise that purchasing a garage door can be pretty overwhelming for a first-time buyer. There is the matter of cost, size, design, and insulation—crucial factors to take into account before expanding your home to a brand new garage.
Garage doors come in various materials, each has their own advantages and disadvantages. Looking into these factors will help you choose the right door for you. You need to ensure that the garage door you have in mind will last for years and has a long warranty duration.
Make It: Garage Door Types
Typical garage doors are made of steel, aluminum, wood, vinyl, and composite wood. Below are the following basic details to serve as your guide in selecting the right garage door.
Wood
Anything that is made of wood invokes a homey cozy feeling whether it’s a floor or a dresser. Wooden garage doors can give a home a rustic feel, but they require a lot of maintenance compared to other materials. They are also vulnerable to rotting and splitting, so it will take a lot of work to keep their appearance and function. This is not ideal for homes situated in an area where rainy days are frequent.
If you still want your garage door to look like wood, opt for a composite wood garage door instead. This is a faux wood material that gives the impression that your door is made of real wood. Plus you don’t need to worry about high-level maintenance since it doesn’t easily get damaged from the harmful elements such as water and wind.
Steel
The beauty of steel garage doors is that they have a wide spectrum of styles, colors, cost, and insulation. You can paint any color you want in it and have it insulated or not. Compare to other garage doors, steel is flexible and doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. You can also choose a thick multi-layered door that offers durability and efficiency.
Steel is also a popular choice since they’re cheaper and easier to install. Neighborhood Garage Door Service offers steel garage doors that boast of strength to surely keep trespassers away and make your vehicle and other belongings safe.
Aluminum
Unlike steel, aluminum garage doors are lighter, but not that resistant against damages. If lifting a heavy garage door seems troublesome for you, an aluminum garage door is a perfect choice for your home. They also give a modern feel when installed with a glass panel. This type of door might not be ideal when you’re on a tight budget because it costs more compared to steel garage doors.
Another disadvantage of aluminum garage doors: they are prone to denting and bending. You might end up replacing them every time a vehicle or person bumps into it.
Vinyl and Glass
They are the least common choices for garage doors because they get easily damaged by elements such as water and heat. Fiberglass gets yellowish when exposed to heat or sunlight, losing vibrancy in the process. Vinyl garage doors are hard to maintain as much as wood because of its material and they are not easily cleaned once they are stained.
Being aware of each material pro’s and con’s will make garage door shopping easier. Now that you have the basic knowledge of the type you want for your home or business, it’s time get yourself a garage door.
Service
You also need to consider your garage door’s longevity and how it will last through the weather. If you live in a place that is sunny or rainy all year round, you need to be realistic of your approach—this means that you need to set the priority of making your door fancy-looking aside and install one that won’t bend out of shape or rot when the water comes gushing in.
