The tools are trash not because they are unreliable but because they are actively destroying human society and culture. They are destroying art, science, journalism, open source software, the internet at large, and the environment we all live in. It wouldn't matter if the generative models were accurate, they would still be garbage.
The fact that they are unreliable just serves to highlight what a colossally destructive waste of time and resources this entire exercise has been.
Eh, the art industry destroyed itself when it became nothing but sellouts. This happened decades ago.
The fact is AI can make as-good or better art than most "artists" because most "art" is just cookie-cutter shit for morons.
