I started playing with AI, to know the medium, in case it comes for my job, and what I discovered, was that it's just a tool like any other. Without a creative vision, it will output subpar results (in my opinion). My process for utilizing it involves much more than just a blanket text prompts. I spend hours editing outputs in photoshop and feeding them back into the machine to get it to produce what I want. Furthermore, I often do a fair amount of
digital touchup in photoshop, and as a result I believe I add my own unique stamp to anything I produce using AI. I share my prompts with anyone that wants them and wants to have a go at reproducing what I have created. I believe it's my process, vision, attention to detail, unique approach, and creative style that makes these things uniquely my own, and worthy of my sense of ownership over them.
