Like it's this amazing tool that can literally whip believable looking people from a soup of words but your average goon cave troll focuses on, "elf, boobs, BIG BOOBS, glossy, plastic look, anime, ANIME STYLE, cinematic, marvel, DCU, dead eyes, gaudy colors, vaporwave" and calls it a day.

I was playing around with some face styles and prompting in stuff like people from different ethnicities and countries and it was spitting back some really good portraits. Then I went and looked in the gallery and it was deviantart tier slop. Not to mention people mistaking the chat section for a prompt and putting in literal cp :yea: I feel icky now.

I think the problem isn't the lack of friction, I think the problem as it relates to friction is twofold: One, and this is the most important, is that these systems are designed overwhelmingly to prioritize reducing friction even at the expense of countless other benefits, like finer control. Two, our culture has produced people so averse to friction that the friction of "drafting" is too much for them to find acceptable in their "hobby" of asking the shitty art genie to grant their fetishes.

Reducing friction is good, actually, it just needs to be considered in the context of what the cost of doing so is can the cost can easily outweigh the benefit.
