"The good and bad things about AI generated images?"

Good:

1) Royalty-free, public domain, anyone can re-use raw generated image. Open source software.

2) Quality is increasing every day (SDXL etc), and vastly better that a year ago.

3) Images can be generated for free.

4) Imaged can generatively iterated. Get something near to what you want, then work it towards the ideal.

5) Happy accidents, within the framework of lots of preset styles.

6) Create things that are wildly imaginative / surreal / dream-like.

7) Can 'train' an AI model on a relatively small sub-type of images.

8) Increasingly controllable. Increasingly possible to run locally.

9) Take a 'rough' figure render from Poser or DAZ, and do amazing things with it.

10. It's naughty (in most people's eyes). We could use a bit more 1960/70s naughtiness in this conformist age.

Bad:

1) Gloopy, loopy, 'spider-webbed' images still occur, full of problems.

2) Images usually need a lot more fixing in Photoshop than you'd expect at first glance.

3) Over-coloured. It's often difficult to get a lower-key coloring scheme.

4) Used by the clueless, who have no idea how to edit a set of pictures down to two or three of the best ones.

5) Used by the clueless, who have no idea how to fix the problems in Photoshop.

6) Still likely to mangle and distort hands, feet, vehicles with wheels, in-scene signs and logos.

7) Pay-to-play, unless you can find free or local desktop PC options.

8) Lots of time wasted, getting it to do what you want it to. it's still a bit of game.

9) No streamlined start-to-finish production software, yet. No "Comic Life 4 with built-in AI", for instance.

10) May cause intense whining, in online forums.
