Of course, now the question the boy in the article asked - "where does the Tiger come from?" - could be answered with "the prompt".
The arguments today are whether a prompt like "draw a Tiger" are the same somehow to someone using a pencil or digital stylus or whatever to draw a tiger.
"But I do know that there’s no program that will draw one from scratch, any size or pose or color or style, like I want it, without an artist at the helm. And there’s no magic answer for us artists except that we are each unique. We are the only variable"
Not anymore! Now the only variable (for good or bad) is the prompt? Just add "super photorealistic, no bad anatomy" I suppose :)
It can be summed up as: "An artist struggles without tools, and a toolmaker is meaningless without an artist."
It's still a valid answer in the modern era, but with AI added to the mix, confusion sets in.
But if that's the case, where does AI fit in? I am a toolmaker, but I actively use AI. So what am I?
A toolmaker who makes tools for making tools? But agents, at least when it comes to CRUD apps, work quite perfectly once I've given them a short command. So what am I, then?
