Someone tried to generate a retro hip-hop album cover image with AI, but the text is all nonsense, and humans would have to be hired to clean that AI slop

In about two years we've gone from "AI just generates rubbish where the text should be" to "AI spells things pretty wrong." This is largely down to generating a whole image with a textual element. Using a model like SDXL with a LORA like FOOOCUS to do inpainting and input image with a very rough approximation of the right text (added via MS Paint) you can get a pretty much perfect result. Give it another couple of years and the text generation will be spot on.

So yes, right now we need a human to either use the AI well, or to fix it afterwards. That's how technology always goes - something is invented, it's not perfect, humans need to fix the outputs, but eventually the human input diminishes to nothing.
