The bit I don't get about AI art is that what I chase after in my own work is the *doing*.

Finding a -flow- where I can kind of see a thing in my head, start working towards it, and it changes continuously as I tell myself a narrative behind what I'm making.

AI art is like instead of going out for an evening with friends, talking, and a great meal followed by dessert then lazing about in a park swearing at bats - you press a button and suddenly you're so full you could burst and have rabies.

@NanoRaptor Sounds like you've never used ComfyUI and Stable Duffusion on a locally hosted LLM box. It's exactly the process of creation and iteration and imagination you've described. Highly recommend it... and it is very not "point and click" to suddenly get amazing results (just like learning and using watercolors, etc).
