I've got thousands of queries, and a LOT of them have generated things I genuinely see as having artistic value, I've probably got 200~ images that I would 100% hang/display in my home ('woodcarving' and 'stone carving' queries rarely disappointed me)
is it some unique form of art, no, but can it produce works I want to see in a medium or style that already exists to a level that it is believable as authentic human art, absolutely.
People like me, with zero artistic ability, are able to take part in creating visually pleasing works. I imagine artists would also find great value in it, being able to feed a few queries in with what they are thinking of creating to draw inspiration, or even putting their own work in and generating variations that may lead to inspiration for new works.
I'd disagree.
- One of the first queries I did made some interesting chairs, I would genuinely buy the first if it was sanely priced: https://www.ryanmercer.com/ryansthoughts/2022/6/17/dall-e-2-...
- One of the first H R Giger inspired works I did made some really interesting computers, I would (and may) hang some of these https://www.ryanmercer.com/ryansthoughts/2022/6/19/dall-e-2-...
- The first wood carving query I did generated solid gold of Vikings eating pizza, this is the kind of thing I'd see in a hole in the wall restaurant and absolutely love https://www.ryanmercer.com/ryansthoughts/2022/6/17/dall-e-2-...
- The first "painting" in this series I may very well print and hang in my office https://www.ryanmercer.com/ryansthoughts/2022/6/27/dall-e-2-...
- These H.R. Giger chairs 100% look like something I'd expect to see in a modern art museum https://www.ryanmercer.com/ryansthoughts/2022/6/24/dall-e-2-...
- If you want to create new characters for something, and are lacking inspiration, I think it could be extremely useful to artists. For example these variations of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared https://www.ryanmercer.com/ryansthoughts/2022/6/21/dall-e-2-...
