@nprofile1q... it’s an interesting point, but I don’t know that I agree with it.
Speaking, obviously only about my own creative process, my intent changes continuously through the process.
It’s influenced by both my past & what goes on DURING the creation process but also a perceived future. Not just a “simple” prompt, but my perception of what I’m creating and how it fits into that future.
I guess to put it in generative AI terms: for a human creating, there is a continuously iterating prompt.
