      tbh, as someone not terribly skilled in pencil drawing, this is how it feels like when i make a mistake but end up liking it. i don’t always have an exact clear picture of what i want to make either.

        But it’s your “mistake” (remember, we don’t make those), not something implanted into your head from the outside.

          i see your point, though you can technically iron out every detail if you are proficient enough at prompting it, and have a complete picture in your mind.

            No, sorry, you don’t see my point. You’re presented by AI with an image that isn’t yours and it overwrites the one that was in your head because it’s vaguely similar. It’s killing your own imagination in favour of an inferior “version”. The one with your “mistake” is yours only, it came from your head and nowhere else and it might lead to something so much better than anything by an AI that you settle for because it’s “good enough”.

        Doesn’t matter. That’s the first panel where the artist develops the image in their mind step by step. Not to mention there are great artists who have no mind’s eye at all (aphantasia).
