Let's just make up a fake job title such as "prompt engineering" and charge $5 a pop for something simple as conjoining words. In reality anyone can do this, i

  Most prompts cost about $2. If you don't know the right design terminology to get an effect, it can easily cost more than $2 in Dall-e credits to figure it out by trial and error. If you also consider the time it takes, then I think it's not unreasonable to buy the prompt. However, I think what's missing is a success/accuracy metric. A prompt that gets the right thing every time is more valuable than a prompt that gets the right thing every 5th time. I don't think they control for that, unless the approval process checks for it. I suppose customer rating would be sufficient.

    Sure, it can cost money to use Dall-e and all things take a certain amount of trail and error to attain the desired result, but does it make any sense for an artist to even use this system, when they spent a significant amount of time learning their craft and skills to begin with; why then just opt out of the creative process entirely and leave it to someone else to create something for you? Maybe systems like Dall-e can serve a purpose for some individuals but the art is not something you crafted, from your imagination, with your skills and talents. I think we should take a step back and ponder the wider implications of these fakeries created by algorithms and the implications it has for us all.
