Right now, I think the winning move for artists is feedback and iteration: "make his head tilt more to the left. make his tie a lighter shade of blue." etc kind of modifications that aren't easily parseable by an AI.

That being said, I'm quite enjoying generating pixel art to stand in for my programmer art before I commission artists.

I think that's something AI will actually be very good at - GLIDE and StyleGAN are better at editing than DALLE is at image generation. But that's a tool artists can use; you just won't have to do the highlights and shadows in your art if you don't want to.

Newer art programs like CSP already have a lot of tools Photoshop didn't, even if it's just 3D models for poses.

You really need to have a closer look at this thing, because it can definitely do all of that, and much more.

Earlier today I saw a video (sorry, lost the link) of an AI editing program (still a prototype). It generates layers of a scene in place, say sky, mountains, rivers, foreground, etc. each of which would be individually manipulated. Next the program seamlessly blends the layers. The host then continued to add objects/subjects and through "in-painting" made all of it blend into a single coherent scene.

This kind of capability is close to being released. This year.

Sounds to me like the Nvidia Canvas App https://youtu.be/mlZYRwJ2oJg

Nope, it was a different one. You'd draw a shape (rectangle, circle) and the attach a prompt to it, after which AI generates it. Next, you can do advanced compositing.

This is literally how you do prompts to AI programs.
