Graphic novel. I read it on my kindle. The art in the first two is rough. It was apparently in vogue to add, just, so many lines for "additional details" that every object appears to be drawn by the shakiest hand they could find.

Yeah, I've... read everything in the Cosmere. Even... White Sand. But thanks for the recommendation!
Currently rereading The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson in preparation for Wind and Truth in December. Also reading the preview chapters as they come out.
Pieces of shit
Sorry, don't give this any attention. It's a scam and everyone knows it.
Yes! Exactly! You had the next thought that I did.
Yes, but I knew that before watching Evil. I've been lucid dreaming for more than two decades now.
It's not about the medium being used, it's that AI doesn't know what things are. You and I have a living library of how a 3D object works in space. When you train your artistic abilities, all you're really doing is perfecting that internal library and learning the techniques to bring it out of your own head.
When you draw an apple, you bring forth the concept of an apple in your mind and then put that down on the page. When an AI draws an apple, it creates a statistically probable image of an apple based on its training data. It doesn't know what an apple is, it just makes something that was good enough to pass the testing machine.
AIs make products like a dream, because just like in your dreams, there's no reality to anchor it to. You hallucinate fairly similarly to AIs, even while waking, but your brain then adjusts its guesses using sensory inputs. Like why you can feel the pain of a stubbed toe instantly, if you see it, even though it actual takes the chemical signal some time to get to your brain. Or how your brain will synchronize the sound coming out of someone's mouth with the image, even though that's not what is actually happening. And an AI will never be able to do that, because all inputs are identical to it.
Look at text. Look away. Look again. Are the words the same? In a dream, they sure as fuck won't be.
Yeah, but there's a manufactured object that should have near perfect symmetry and doesn't. It kind of looks symmetrical, but that's not how symmetry works.
Hey! Fuck off and just let people live their lives. Is that really that hard?
Generative AI, as it is being built right now, is a dead-end. It won't get much better than it currently is (markedly worse once the next-gen is forced to scrape data that includes AI generated data) and hallucinations are always going to be the reality for them.
It's why there's this big push over the last couple of years to get these products to market. Not because you're going to corner some burgeoning industry (though the hype definitely is designed to look like that), but because this is a grift now and you have to get the goods while there's still goods to get. Need to recoup those R&D dollars somehow.
