The Importance of Stochasticity in Photography
I think essentially that's a question about how much control the artist has over the output. And I think you can raise similar concerns or points about photography, right? So there are some respects in which perhaps the AI artists using an image generation algorithm might have less control than the photographer because of this stochastic element. There are also techniques to reduce these stochastic elements. You can actually make the image reproducible if you use a determinate seed. It is possible to make it deterministic. so keeping the parameters fixed such that the very same prompt with the very same model will be using the very same image.
