I think the hype around simple style synthesis tools is getting out of hand, especially when people try to apply them to really complex projects. Sure, they can quickly generate variations on a basic image or text prompt, mimicking a particular artist or style.That's fine for simple applications,like speedy social media content or exploring initial ideas.
Though, when it comes to things like creating detailed game assets, generating consistent character designs across multiple scenes, or even crafting entire fictional worlds, these tools frequently enough fall flat.The results tend to be superficial, lacking the nuance and understanding of the underlying structure needed for a truly cohesive and compelling outcome.You end up spending more time fixing artifacts and inconsistencies than you would have just creating the content from scratch. Are we really gaining anything when we're just moving the labor from generation to meticulous editing?
It feels like some people are pushing these tools as a magic bullet,completely ignoring the limitations and the skill still required to produce genuine quality. What has your experiance been with trying to use these simpler tools for more aspiring creative endeavors? I'm curious if I'm alone in feeling this way.
