True, but you're saying that AI "art" can become real art like 3D CGI art? I think that at the highest levels it could be true (let's say high effort well controlled inpainted composition), but low effort mid reward AI is a thing whereas the same wasn't true with 3D, unless you count the easy "make your own landscape in 10 clicks" programs like Bryce 3D.

I think it might come down to what AI devs do. As long as it's all "type some words and a picture comes out and if you want to fix it well tough luck", but if they give us an editor to edit the compositing steps (because basically AI is like "is this a nipple? this looks like a nipple so I'm gonna accentuate it as a nipple") and give us detailed control over the decisions that define the composition then that could work as a close analogue to 3D.

In the meantime I think that while the pictures produced by AI fall short, they can be a good source of inspiration for ideas or design, because unlike an image editor or 3d editor which don't give you much to inspire you AI pretty much brings up its own ideas and designs (like you type 3 words to vaguely describe clothes and it gives you an elaborate costume design). It's pretty much the perfect generator of ideas, you only need a very vague idea of what you and it just suggests things. Then you can be inspired to draw something the traditional way.
