Interesting. The results so far look pretty good, though only for fantasy and science fiction "fan art" style. That's why I was wondering whether the models are only trained from such inputs. If I understand you correctly, this is not the case and other styles of art can also be produced. Right?

Another question: Do the people who run the software claim copyright on the results even though these are (mostly) produced by the software? It sounds like that when you write "some us will [...] produce fantastic artpieces." I guess it's also legally the case but wonder whether that's also how people experimenting with it understand it.

As it takes a lot of iterations, curation and knowledge about how to best steer the systems, most users (rightfully) feel some sort of creativity and skill went into the works even if the AI did the pixels, except if you're really lucky and you get something amazing out of a simple prompt.. In the end, it's each to his own I guess. This will just be another tool in the toolbox of a digital creator.

Btw it simply isn't true that the AI generators are "only good for fantasy and sci-fi". I guess you've been seeing a biased selection. They can do pretty much anything. MidJourney is for sure more fine-tuned towards artsy stuff though.
