You can remain unconvinced but it's somewhat true.
I can keep writing prompts for DE3 or similar until it gives me something like what I want, but the problem is, there are often subtle but important mistakes in many images that are generated.
I think it's really good at portraits of people, but for anything requiring complex lighting, representation of real world situations or events, I don't think it's ready yet, unless we're ready to just write prompts, click buttons and just accept what we receive in return.
Midjourney already has tools that allow you to select parts of the image to regenerate with new prompts, Photoshop-style. The tools are being built, even if a bit slowly, to make these things useful.
I could totally see creating Matte paintings through Midjourney for indie filmmaking soon, and for tiny budget films using a video generative tool to make let’s say zombies in the distance seems within reach now or very soon. Slowly for some kind of VFX I think AI will start being able to replace the human element.
