No, "the computer" allows the artist to be exposed to a magnitude of various arbitrary and curated creative decisions that can help guide their work and their intent.

Here's a stupid personal and anecdotal example:

I've been trying to teach myself to do watercolor paintings of my photography.

That's been going OK, but with the help of img2img, I can "quickly" generate thousands of variations of Watercolor paintings of my OWN work, then choose the various elements I like, then I paint them into one painting. Which have led my freehand painting skills to improve at a much higher rate.

If however I just put up a feed of the generated watercolors from Sdiff, it would be immediate obvious. Of course, that's right now and doesn't speak to the vast improvements that are on the horizon.

This is what I'm personally seeing in my own circles of overlapping art creators trying to experiment with AI.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that: Artist will find ways to make their intentions stand out, whatever the tools we all have access to.

And if you move a horsehair brush, do you determine where each hair lands? If you spray paint, do you say where each drop lands? We have, for long, handed control to physical random processes. To modify that to land on mathematical random processes is not some categorical shift.
