What website is this? It looks like fake news. Update: I did some searching around and this is definitely a fake news website.

I love how we have such a poor model of how LLMs work (or more aptly don't work) that we are developing an entire alchemical practice around them. Definitely seems healthy for the industry and the species.

but here's the thing: why spend a bunch of time trying to formulate a prompt to give to a machine to generate a bad image to bring to an artist who would then refine it, when you could just say to the artist "one hand stabbing another with an ornate dagger, traditional style" and get what you want in one shot?

I am heavily tattooed and I tried generating a few designs. I'm sorry to say that everything it suggested was awful, and if an artist ever showed me any of this in their flash collection I would block them on Instagram and potentially call the police.

What you do with that information is up to you.
