Oh, that is a great analogy. Yes, those pictures are pretty! Until you look closer. Any experienced artist or designer will tell you that they are dogshit and don't have value. Don't look further than at Ubisoft and their Anno 117 game for a proof.

Yep, that's where we are with code now. Pretty - until you look close. Dogshit - if you care to notice details.

Not to mention how hard it is to actually get what you want out of it. The image might be pretty, and kinda sorta what you asked for. But if you need something specific, trying to get AI to generate it is like pulling teeth.

I agree entirely, except i don't know that I've seen pretty pictures from AI.

"Glossy" might be a good word (no i don't mean literally shiny, even if they are sometimes that).

I've developed a new hobby lately, which I call "spot the bullshit."

When I notice a genAI image, I force myself to stop and inspect it closely to find what nonsensical thing it did.

I've found something every time I looked, since starting this routine.
