What the machines will do is cherry pick products of these impulses from other artists in order to fit those initial prompts, and end up reverse-engineering frankenstein monsters of mixed signals and hollow intent. They will never apply your joy and your love and your pain and your experiences to the holistic approach that you put into planning AND making a painting its mood, composition, subject choice, lighting, lineweight, color palettes, all consciously or subconsciously working out of your selfhood. They will never have a goal beyond chasing those surface-level prompts, and they will never come close to your iteration process in which you're discovering and creating at the same time. They will never have your intentionality. This is not a platitude, this is not a pat on your back, it is stone-cold fact. What these АI platforms have actually excelled at is tricking you into thinking they have surpassed you, but they have not. The first, and the more important one, contains your pride in your work and the love you have for the medium that you mentioned. Erin getting time to discover her adult self is way cooler than she gave her credit for gives adult!Erin's final scene so much more punch than if it they'd gone the clone!Erin route, and gives her room to learn that maybe there's more to life than just being the caretaker.
#COMIC PALLET FIREALPACA TUTORIAL MAC#
Same with Mac finding out she dies, not from some random lady telling her the family moved afterward, but from the older brother she's revered her whole life-and then building on that relationship to help her on this journey of understanding she's always had value. Getting to watch KJ have that quiet mental breakdown (which, in 1988, she absolutely would do finding out at 12 that you're destined to be queer, especially coming from a family that "cares what everyone else thinks" like hers does, would be incredibly jarring) and then slowly come to terms with what it all means is much more effective on a grounded level. That's great for that medium-but you get SO much more out of that journey onscreen by actively seeing her adult self be relaxed and happy with a girlfriend.

KJ in the comics figures out she's gay because she gets some flash-bang images dumped into her head, and one of them is kissing Mac. I also think this really benefits the girls in terms of character building.
