I'm quite enamored by it, and I've posted thousands of renders since September. It's like anything else, it's good and bad points defect the users. There is a mindless side for some where they just copy and paste others work and call it a day.
If you really start to look into prompt engineering, you can begin to create some amazing visuals.
It's not going to replace artists, that's always the first cry when ripples start to form in existing power structures. If you look at the history of art , when photography started artists were concerrned. Why buy their work, when you can capture a virtual with a click of a button for far less cost - and it's a perfect replica.
That's not what people want, so gradually photography settled into this new berth, and photography on it's own became a seperate art form.
Then computers started showing up, and the manual artists AND photographers picked up their burning torches and assembled in the village square .
Like photography, the earliest computer was rather primitive , until the Macintosh came out. When I saw that in the 80's at work it was the first computer capable of creating absolute masterpieces if you had the patience and talent.
Photographers and artists started using computers to assist in their fields.
So at least for me, I don't consider myself an "artist" when it comes to AI graphics. At best, I'm like a magazine editor telling the AI "photographers" the image that I want to see for the next issue . After decades of photographic involvement, I know a strong visual when I see one.
So this too shall pass , and it will slowly be absorbed into the art world . In the meantime it gives people like myself with zero "manual" art talent a chance to produce interesting visuals - much like I've done over decades .
The AI will improve , as it's exposed to the universe of images being produced each and every day. .
It's just a simple formula of points times defence stats , 1.4 K points is going to give you an epic amount of defense , but if your company is at 10 points or close you might want to keep some to invest on that sweet life increase. That will degrade if attacked, or degrade slowly over time if not attacked.
As you approach the subway ATMs, a man walking in the opposite direction stops you. "They're out of order, f**king useless piece of shit machines," complains the man as he walks away. You stride over to the ATM where your equipment is located. It is indeed out of order, but that doesn't stop you from sliding out your skimmer from the slot. Your camera takes a little work to find, but you eventually locate it in the upper left corner of the machine's housing. With your skimming apparatus back in your possession, you leave the subway.

You visit a dark web marketplace and create a sales page for 250 credit card numbers. To try and attract attention, you advertise them as ethically sourced, farm-to-table card details. For some reason, this nets you a shit-ton of interest. A bidding war ensues and you're able to command a price of $145 for each card..
SUCCESS $36,250
That brought me to 70.70. (was at [background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]Graffiti[/background][background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)] 56.95 before both actions)[/background]
I think I'll just place a few , and try for a repeat
I really admire what you've been able to accomplish in such a short time. Clear, concise, and quite complete. Without this series of guides, we'd be stumbling around in the dark.
Thanks again, I think that I can safely say that we all appreciate the hard work that you and your helpers have put in to this
