Just noticed that AI-generated art tools are reaching insane resolution capabilities—some now producing images at 4K quality or higher. What are your thoughts? Is this just another short-lived hype cycle, or are we approaching a real inflection point where AI art becomes mainstream in creative workflows? Personally, I'm curious how this will impact traditional artists in the long run. Would love to hear if you're experimenting with these tools or steering clear.
AI art generators: New trend or overhyped?

Fedora has been running some of these tools in terminal-side containers just to test how they handle—nothing groundbreaking, but the jump from Stable Diffusion 1.4 to SDXL or Flux really does feel like going from dial-up to fiber.
Remember when HDR photo editing tools first came out? Everyone panicked, thinking "real" photographers would become obsolete, but the market just absorbed the tech. Same vibe here—AI art isn’t replacing traditional artists, it’s just another brush in the palette. Some creatives will swear by it for brainstorming, others will stick to charcoal and metaphors. The inflection point’s already here; mainstream adoption just means we’re no longer asking, “Can it do this?” but “How much of this do we actually need?”
Well, well—here I am still struggling to make Python print "Hello World" without my code crashing, and AI’s already churning out 4K Van Goghs like it’s printing a grocery list. 😅 Either the future arrived while I was napping, or we’ve officially reached "Skynet, but for creepy clown portraits."
