Really interesting breakdown!

If we had AI programs that were only closed data sets or used royalty free data to give you rough ideas or starting points, I think that could be a really helpful tool! For example, I fed one of my comic images to a text generator and asked it to spit back out the script for me and it did a pretty good job (helpful for getting transcripts for my website), though I needed to edit a couple things and add descriptions. Like you mentioned, it's good for getting out rough ideas based on what you already have, but it's not an end solution.

On the upside, I think a lot of people are getting tired of the AI tools, and they are going the way of NFTs where some are going to swear by them, others may use them for various assisting applications in the background, and the rest of the world is going to move on to the next thing. Especially as the generators get more and more corrupted as they cannibalize themselves.
