> It's no longer about another person communicating something significant and human to me.

There is a person thinking about the prompt, typing in the prompt, painstakingly selecting the image that matches what they imagined in their head.

It just less elitist, as now even a child can create a complex, meaningful and beautiful images by leveraging the essence of human art (compressed into a single ML model).

I, for one, never had the time & chance to learn painting. Even if I did it as a hobby, it would take me up to a decade to become proficient at it.

And now I can ask AI to paint what I dreamt about last night (!!!), or create an impressionist painting almost exactly like I see it (or even better).

Fun factor is also there: I can see how an anime character could look in real life, or put a movie character in a new context , or just generate cute corgis wearing funny hats and driving cars
