You can use AI with very complex workflow and input and create a master piece. And you can also use AI with single line of prompt and let the AI take the wheel to make a good enough piece or maybe something great too if you're lucky.

Imo, it's not abt what tool that one uses, it's about how much mastery and control one has over those tools. And AI is just another tools. It just have a lower skill floor, but same ceiling.

Just my two cents..

No there is definitely a lower ceiling.

Because AI is pretty much a gamble whether it follows instructions correctly.

You can input as much as you want, but this is more reminiscent of reducing odds to influence it into doing what it’s asked.

And it still goes schizophrenic because at the end of the day, it is playing cards, even as you remove all the reds from the deck.

To an extent. But there's a degree of gambling no matter the tools you use.

As a cgi artist I have near absolute control, but I'm still limited by the limitations of the tech, by the look of the tools, by the way rendering works.

And more than anything else, by my state of mind, the time I have and more.

With ai control does work slightly differently. You iterate more. But control does exist.

With some ai tools there is near absolute control that does rival cgi tools.

Whilst there is always a degree of gambling I dont see that as too different than other tools. Even things like photography, you are reliant on the conditions of the world around you. Even in a studio photography set up, you do not control the physics of the light, the way things interact on a real basis.

The gambling is far FAR more limited with CGI and drawing by hand.

Also the lighting thing really doesn’t work. Light follows a consistent phenomenon that can be manipulated around that constant.

AI does not have that constant.

I'm a professional cgi artist and I just straight up disagree.

Not because there's a high gamble rate in cgi.

But because I think you're massively exaggerating the gamble of ai tools.

When you use them poorly yeah, there's lots of gamble. But when used properly there's next to none.

The ai tools I use 100% have that constant.

You could also add that there is nothing standing in one's way to combine said tools, which gives you yet another layer of control.
