I wonder what would have happened if stablediffusion released itself as a really powerful web-based image editing tool, still offering but relatively de-emphasizing its "create things with a prompt from scratch" functionality.

Realistically, practical use cases are going to be AI+human mix for quite a while anyway.

I think that's how we can make the most of ai moving forward. The sort of networked interaction between collective human intelligence on the internet distilled by the ai and the human entering the prompts.
