How do people feel about image manipulation with AI? I'm not great with Krita (and even worse with photoshop) but am getting better with stable diffusion!
I bet you'll get different opinions (if you get much response), but personally I think manipulating images with AI is cool, and I love seeing it, but I don't think it belongs here. It would be like someone submitting a photograph to a forum for still life paintings. It's just a different skill being highlighted.
I'd subscribe to a community for AI generated/manipulated images, even though I don't create any.
That's fair. There are plenty of AI image subreddits to which I am subscribed (and should probably post more, tbh). Of course the most important is the one I created, /m/AnimalsInHats !
