All the anti-AI reaction reminds me so much of how mobile phones were treated when they first appeared. Even mentioning you thought it might be interesting to try one would get pillows thrown at your head. Then a few years later not having one made you seem deeply suspect. It’s probably too early to say which way it will go but I suspect some of the services we’re so inaccurately calling AI now will end up being so commonplace no-one will even notice them any more and I think image generation is going to be one of those. Always assuming the cost can somehow be passed on to the consumer, of course. It’s not going to stay free forever so enjoy it while it lasts.
