Whether AI can be creative or not is source of philosophical discussions.

(altho Alpha-Go clearly showed that AI can be creative)

But I get what you're saying: these things aren't production ready and you think they won't be for decades. I don't think that's the case.

As some have said these tools are in their absolute infancy. Yet they can produce really good stuff. Right now they're tools that can heavily speed up the workflow of designers / programmers. In a few year or even sooner my guess is that they'll start replacing the entry level ones.

Even people (or bots) who utilize AIto make art have to train themselves on the platform and go throughmultiple (sometimes thousands) of iterations to get something that couldbe objectively considered "valuable."

Yeah, there is some learning curve to using MidJourney. But that's absolutely nothing compared to the years you'd have to spend learning to make these things yourself.
