    Look closer. It’s not just the big details. Look at the window. Look at how the AI just completely flattened out the lighting outside to this vague orange tone that robs the scene of so much of its character.

    AI can’t think. It can’t make the kind of intentional choices that a good artist can. And you can’t solve that with prompting, because one, good luck describing that exact pattern of lighting in a prompt, and two, the person prompting isn’t a good enough artist to come up with that exact pattern of lighting, because it would take years of experience to be able to.

    The reason you think your photoshops have mimic’d Van Gogh is because you’re not Van Gogh, and no offense intended, but you’re clearly not a good enough artist to understand the difference. I guarantee that anyone who knows what they’re looking for would instantly know the difference between your work and his. Art isn’t just style, it’s a myriad of choices that you can’t recreate with a photoshop filter.

      AI can’t think.

      No one claimed it does. It requires prompting from a human.

      And you can’t solve that with prompting,

      There is absolutely no difference between written commands and pointing a clicking from a menu on the screen. I see it like writing a program. If the code doesn’t do exactly what you want, you need more code. No one today claims that a word processor can’t do the same thing as a typewriter because a typewriter was assembled by hand as compared to a word processor that needed hundreds of thousands of lines of instructions to simulate the same effect.

      I guarantee that anyone who knows what they’re looking for would instantly know the difference between your work and his.

      I absolutely didn’t mean to imply that it was. I was claiming that using Photoshop with all its artificial filters and brushes to simulate styles is the same as prompting an AI to simulate those same styles.

      Art isn’t just style, it’s a myriad of choices that you can’t recreate with a photoshop filter.

      And those choices can be written as text or picked from a menu.
