the only attraction that image-generating neural networks hold for me is exploring the unique qualities of the network. They can't replace humans, obviously. I don't want to use them as an artistic tool, 95% of the people who do are hacks with no vision, and I'm much more fascinated by drawing out the weirdness embedded in the embedding.

Exploring the phase space of images and generating truly bizarre shit is where they shine. I've enjoyed experimenting with this (at least before the FUCKERS over at OpenAI took away my free daily tokens), but I know a lot of folks would rather not see it at all, so when I post the weird shit I'll hide it behind appropriate CWs, as above.

one of the reasons i wish people could just be cool about AI art and not steal and stuff is yeah. a computer does not know fear. it can make fucked up shit without being held back by its innate tendency to protect its own mind. the horror potential is basically infinite

i'm not a fan of using machine learning as an end for art generation, but it does have some interesting, less-obvious uses. my favorite is the limited ability to change the lighting on a 2d drawing, which is really useful for adjusting references in a collage, that can then be used to create a painting: https://clipdrop.co/relight

i've also seen some artists use it for compositional work, such as playing with backgrounds.

a friend of mine utilizes AI art generators to create set pieces/monsters/other forms of inspirations for a horror game they're working on. it works exceptionally well at creating things that are just man-made enough but still have that unnerving in-humane feeling to it.
