>Maybe they didn't stop, but they're converging towards zero. In the past hundred years, artists were coming up with a lot of things that had not existed for all of humanity.
How do you distinguish this from survivorship bias? There were probably tons of shitty artists 100 years ago but you haven't heard of them.
> It's no coincidence that most image generation prompts have an existing artist or style in them.
I've been thinking about this. I don't think it's evidence that anything is getting worse, because a lot of the prompts people use are referring to recent artists/styles. Is it possible that leaving out the style/artist leads to an average of every style which doesn't really work?
