I searched for a Dall e2 thread before posting this but the search didn't show anything. Weird, I'd have just voiced my opinions on the original. Maybe I needed to add the -?
The only point for my post was:
I did last time we had this same discussion?
I can't recall having this discussion with anyone before?
I wasn't being critical of you bringing it up again, or Firn, just that, yes we have done this dance before.
I find the updated discussion interesting and more opinions are added. Looking back at this, I see more that I missed last round.

I followed some more links and saw more of what the system could do. I still see it as best for simple, concepts and illustrations. That doesn't mean it won't get even better and more realistic.
I wonder how it will be used and marketed? I mean, per image online subscription? Or maybe software for sale which wouldn't surely open Pandora's box of new images. Will I be able to dream up a new image, have it made and add it to my images for license?
I'm convinced along the same lines as many others that there will always be a need for real photographers, and some situations can't be covered by software.
