Ok, so what does the next level of "difficult" look like?
You can look at say, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wedding_at_Cana and quickly get that yup, this took a whole lot of time and effort.
But AI has nothing like that. Some things that look like an awful lot of work it spits out with ease, some things that sound simple can take a whole lot of fiddling.
Like the other day I was playing with DALLE3, and for whatever reason it didn't want to place things on a table.
A: Oh so your LLM generated an image of a spaceship cockpit, so what?
B: So what? This LLM was trained on nothing but tax records from 1929!
A: :o amazing!
So AI artists do not necessarily equal 'creatives who render images using AI tooling', they may instead be 'creatives who tease out novel outputs from AIs' or something like that.
Then again, this is suspiciously close to a 'what is art' conversation, so i'll stop here.
I recon a sufficiently advanced AI could learn enough to do that from only that training data and some appropriate prompting.
