the function of bluepoint as a studio is identical to that of running an image through a generative model and telling it to make it trending on artstation

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
