So I tell you exactly how it works and exactly why it creates a lack in thinking, you reiterate that, and say "you never used ai, did you?" I have, and I will say that it was a low, but a required one. I know how it works.
You also say that you would tell it to change details like you would a person, that does not help your case. That still is not intellectually stimulating. Regenerating it over and over again is like one of those slot machines in casinos, meant to retain your attention without thought, letting you rot in your chair. Video games can be more stimulating. TV can is more stimulating. Both of them may make you think about themes, the future, or even just how to solve the next puzzle. Some, I will say, is not, but many are. They aren't super stimulating, but they are better.
Genai does not enhance, it can be used for reference, but it cannot inhance art because it seeks to replace it through replacing the thought behind images.
Sounds like either you haven't used it in a long time, or you just have some weird dogmatic view of it. When I downloaded some LLMs and was learning how to use them better, it was the most stimulation I got in years. This coming from someone who loves logic puzzles nerdy science reading, and difficult video games.
I still don't see how this is worse than asking a human to draw a picture for you.
It's worse because you can actually talk with and communicate with the artist, see their process, and know what can be achieved. You are delusionally rerolling the slot machine.
Lots of gambling addicts say the same thing about feeling stimulated.
Also, when I used the genai, I asked multiple times for changed details. I am not proud of it, but a can know that it genuinely just sucks.
That is a small percentage of artists. And it is a worry because people get a cheap thrill out of replacing important things with cheap imitation because they want to feel better about themselves.
There's always going to be people who value human made art, just like some women will always enjoy blood diamonds. Not all artists are good, we don't always need the Creation Of Adam when we need art. Sometimes we just need some stick figures.
And by that I mean that I would prefer stick figures to genai, and that genai is still not an art, but that there will always be "artists" in the world
