Are you honestly comparing taking a photograph (and "properly", i.e. thinking about lighting and composition and such, versus firing off a snapshot on your phone) with typing "Make me a picture of Trump riding a dragon"?

Are you genuinely equating the profound and labor-intensive process of painting, with its meticulous brushstrokes, profound understanding of lighting, composition, and the tactile relationship between artist and canvas, to the trivial button pressing of photography?

Photography is an art in itself. Describing a picture to a computer is not. The two are not comparable

The feeling is mutual.

Impressive that you can dismiss an entire genre of art as trivial mindlessness

That's what _you_ just did.

I'm merely pointing out why it's stupid.

This comparison doesn't work because when you talk about photography, you say you need to do it "properly", but you don't apply that same logic to prompt crafting. Typing "Make me a picture of Trump riding a dragon" is not "proper" use of generative AI.
