I'll accept the down votes, but I needed a header image for a work doc that showed a map, and in the background the landscape it was mapping - too specific for a stock photo, but it's just window dressing in a mostly internal doc - perfect use case for AI!

After 45 minutes of prompting I gave up and made it myself in 20 minutes, and used royalty free no credit needed images.

Man I can't for the life of me get it to generate a proper image that isn't "a cute racoon playing guitar" or some stuff like that.

I tried using AI filters too, to improve quality (remove motion blur, remove low-light noise, etc) but it never did anything useful either. Upscaling may as well be just a GIMP image scale.

I don't get it. Either I'm too stupid to use it or it's truly useless.
