you can use it to mock up commercial developments

Fair, but aren't there better solutions for this already?

    Depends on how you define “better.” You can generate many variants of a scene this way, at night say, or in snowy conditions. You can mock up emergency response situations. It’s part of the story you’re telling but not a straight up replacement.

    I guess by better I mostly mean "without AI"

    Machines should work. Humans should think.

    Seems to imply people don't use Ai to shortcut their thinking and people don't think when they work.

    The quote comes from long before this age of LLMs. We need robots (which do not spy on us) to wash our dishes and fold our laundry, freeing us to think and create.

    I suppose better in this case means accurate.

    Unless you just need the image to be off to the side of a PowerPoint presentation and no one's really supposed to pay any attention to it I can't really see how I could rely on an AI to produce an output that I want.
