Internet artist for 6+ years here. I've used Midjourney as a background, material, and texture generator and also for color picking an entire palette that I want to use. Sometimes I'll 'stitch' components from multiple generated work and refeed it to the AI to make it spit something more specific to an idea I have or whatever the fuck my clients want. 95% of the time they are satisfied with a loose drawing of a composition I copied straight from whatever I generated. Working with my most insufferably demanding repeat clients have become a fucking cake walk because drawing up a new composition for them takes at most 10 minutes to do and they're happy. I work on their shitty ideas faster, they shut the hell up faster, my slots fill up faster and I get paid faster. Not a single person has ever gotten suspicious and I sometimes delay for a few days because I can easily finish their order in half a day, tops. Whether you think I'm delusional or not, at the end of the day my artwork is authentic as I still work on them from scratch, in my distinct style, just with a massive clutch of a reference tool.
