Ai Springboard for Ideas
Here's a beautiful portrait generated with Ai (with some post work). It gives me great ideas for DAZ renders. Even if you're not a fan of the results of Ai, there are things it cranks out that can inspire ideas for other creations. It's kind of liking having a model sit for a painting. Your painting might embellish on the model's features. Likewise, you can take Ai images and use that to create something similar, but 100% your work.
By the way, the U.S. Library of Congress is currently taking the stand that Ai work cannot be copyrighted because it is not the work of the person providing the prompt words, but a composite of work from many different sources - some real and some virtual. While your prompt words may be uniquely yours, others with the know how can see your prompt words and they immediately get swallowed up and used in their creations.
For that reason, one should never get upset if someone's Ai "steals" from your Ai creation.
It is what it is.

Very beautiful. I'm following your experiences creating AI images with interest.

Thanks. I'm still learning, but I love sharing my discoveries (both in art form and writing about what I have learned.)

Although I am not at all a "fan" of AI, nor the current fad with it here or on other Art sites, I do agree with what you have stated here, DB. I played a bit with MidJourney, until the blasted thing wanted money. And if it didn't, I'd certainly play with it for things like backgrounds, and as you said, inspiration.
What bugs the hell out of me is... I will sometimes spend several DAYS trying to get everything just right; the way I saw it in my mind's eye. I'm currently using 3 different versions of Poser (P-12, P-11, PP2014) and of course I do have the CC subscription for Photoshop. And I will soon (hopefully) have DAZ operational again.
Then to see something that was generated in a few minutes, by typing in a bunch of "prompt" words (which ANYONE can do) elevated to the top of the 'trending' list in a couple hours is both discouraging and annoying. It's a big part of the reason I've not been very active here, recently. Having said that, my posts generally do pretty well here, but the TREND I'm seeing, is not encouraging. Nor is the concept that anything I create / post has now become fair game for any AI app to harvest my work - or part of it - if someone types "redhead" or any combination of the letters 'T,' 'N,' or 'A' into the AI app, then claim the work as "theirs."
Hence, I lift my cup of coffee in a salute to the Library of Congress' decision! It is what it is, indeed!
I'd love to see you duplicate this lovely lady's head / face in DAZ! 👍

Yeah, the claiming the results of Ai is one of those things that's a real iffy and touchy subject in the art community. And, while some people type a few prompt words and end up with something amazing, that is the exception and not the norm.
It does require some work learning to master AI, but the real test is seeing the results for what they are (and mostly aren't). I got sucked down the Ai rabbit hole this morning, but I learned something as a result about gaining better control over Ai. As a result, I think we'll start to see there will be those who can, with a large degree of consistency, create a prompt-word "book" that gives them consistent results. And, to that extent, I think those folks will deserve some credit for learning how to manipulate the beast. (Yes, Ai is a BEAST.)
And, if you're spending several days trying to get something right, I'd say it's because you're using Adobe products. LOL (I abandoned Adobe when they went to the cloud model. I haven't looked back. When I had my studio I would get someone asking me, "What version of Photoshop do you use?" I'd look them square in the eye and with a stern look I'd say, "I don't."
But, seriously, if you're skilled in Photoshop and that's where you feel comfortable, that's what you should use. Running a studio with several licenses it didn't make financial/tax sense. (i.e. CC subscription is an expense. A perpetual license is an asset and carries with it tax benefits... according to my CPA at the time.)
