I agree. Fascinating and sometimes beautiful as it all is, I feel it leaves me in the depths of the uncanny Valley. There are other communities which will surely be more suited to this content.

I vote most of my Hivepower in this community and will usually shy away from computer-created work entirely because I am not sure of the human-to-machine ratio of its creation. So I am fully behind this move. As it will help the computer artists that use the machine as a tool and not those who are just good with prompts.

I get your point that it is trained on the images and styles of artists without their will and although that may be difficult to stomach it is what all artists are trained to do until they can find their own true voice. Once you put your work out there it becomes part of the collective unconscious and there is no getting away from that. 'We are only as original as the reference to our source is obscured' Someone said that once and I believe there is great truth in it.

With all that said this technology really is magic.
