ok where gen-AI falls flat for images is it lacks intentionality. beyond what's prompted, everything is random and "average" in ways no person would do.
AI coding gets around this by having the agent first write out detailed intention-shaped documents that are basically different types of expansion of the prompt, which then become the cinematic universe of the prompt.
these intention-shaped docs are still uncanny, but they're enough of a simulacrum of intention …
