The body of this green beetle is too small for me to see the details without amplifying glasses, so I painted a coarse version and let stable diffusion come up with the details. The results are more vivid beetles with colors and shapes that roughly match my drawing, but completely different types of beetles.

Natural authoring modalities
The technology has finally reached the point for which content can start to be authored via natural language and gesture (including drawing) instead of unnatural WIMP (windows, icons, menus, pointer).
The state of art (e.g., DALL-E-2) can already be part of the content creation toolbox, and future advances may soon obsolete legacy tools.
