    I mean it is a real job, and it takes a unique skill set if your actually building the workflow, tuning the model and learning the tooling.

    But it’s not the same job as artist.

    Its like comparing a stone sculpture to a welder. Both can make art but it’s two VERY different processes and results.

    The problem is the stupid ass prompt engineers are claiming to be artists and have no actual art skills. And 99% of them don’t even understand how the fuck their own tooling works, understand how to actual tune the model or even what it’s training set really is.

    They just slap words into the slop generator and call it a day

    It’s the equivalent of yeeting a paint can at a wall and calling it art.

    It’s fucking stupid

      Stop talking. Prompting isn’t working. I know, because I do it all day.

      Everyone should just stop talking about it at this point and only look at the quality of their output. If you’re AI-assisted and your shit still sucks then that’s just you sucking shit.

        Everybody should have been looking at the quality of their output before LLM tools were even a thing. They never should have stopped, if they did, that’s on them just like Tesla drivers napping at 80mph.

      It’s like comparing a stone sculptor to a welder where the welding tools started as magnifying glasses in the direct sun a year ago worked up through acetylene torches and now you’ve got 400A precision TIG arc welders to screw up with…
