My theory: The treatlerite gaming brain is so used to instantaneous gratification that the mere act of prompting and choosing is subjectively understood as a creative process. People who are used to patiently creating great things quickly get bored with prompting, but people who have been robbed all their creative potential by education and consumerism get addicted to it because for once it makes them feel like they are doing something. As usual, the proomter is a product of alienation from creative labor
thank you for articulating why that stuff bores the shit out of me so quickly. a co-worker is basically on the prompt dopamine high and i kept explaining to him that i've already tested all the boundaries of this stuff and it's extremely limiting, boring, and samey and he didn't get what I was saying.
i see only a few use cases and only if self-hosted: reference art (very limited, it's actually bad at much of this outside landscapes) and as a way to overcome writer's block if you can't interact with your usual human creative partners for some reason
or just to help format outlines or organize huge, steam-of-consiousness lore dumps. but only if self-hosted, because otherwise you are giving free training data to this shit
