This modern AI art is iterative. That is, unlike painting which builds on earlier attempts and lets you paint over previous work, today's generative art tools require patience and an eye for what needs tweaking before starting the next render. The artist curates by looking for better versions of the same prompt and workflow, discarding earlier iterations. After several hours of slight adjustments to the inputs, you might get completely beautiful outputs. But what if you roll that random seed die once more? You lock in your GPU for a while and cross your fingers.
