Imagine all of the skill, dexterity, and creative choices during each brush stroke that Beksiński had to bring to bear creating that surrealist Piper painting in my examples post.

Now imagine someone, a person that hasn't dedicated themselves to developing such imagination, knowledge, and dexterity, typing in this prompt

Somber Surreal futurist Apocalyptic Skeletal Piper

And producing a comparable result in a manner of minutes.

Is it progress?
