In the days of Midjourney, the job of artist changes a bit.
Might artists generate income by licensing their style as algorithmic filters? (e.g. "in the s

- When using Midjourney, I'd like to refer to my or others' previous creations using "as" statements.
e.g. "[below image ID] as shield of a warrior fighting at the Fall of Troy"
Each object, like the shield in that example, is thus stamped into a "scene." We will eventually have tools to allow us to place and manipulate the placement and integration of objects in scenes.
Think of this as object-oriented prompt statements.
Think of it, too, as a new form of integrative expression, like music mixing, fused with a new kind of image curation.
Of course, to get the incentives fair and sustainable for the maintenance of human creativity, will require image provenance protection.
Maybe even most interestingly, think of it as a meaning infusion system. The "shield" in the above prompt is not just some random expression. In this case, it represents the networking and clustering of symbolic objects (next-gen memes), represented in a knowledge graph of semantically linked command prompts.
People will come together to build these new cutout collages, these community-based murals of our shared meaning and interests. *We will paint together.* These collaboratively artistic expressions can also express or represent collective community sentiment when processed with a sentiment analysis tool like Pol.is.
