Imagine creating an entire painting by typing a few sentences.
AI tools like Stable Diffusion will forever change how people create art.

And what lessons can we learn from history on how this will play out?
Here's the breakdown 🧵
anxiety surrounding AI art is less about computers becoming humans and more about humans becoming more robotic.
social media is robotic, formulaic. everything looks the same. everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.
what a computer can never reproduce is organic human emotion. it cannot recreate authenticity.
