I don't think every curator do, nor every person on hive do and that segment were for the benefits of that don't. Because most people don't interact or see those complex workflows or that their impression of AI art have been tainted with the first image generator models and think that every image generation is done through a few simple prompts.
You certainly understand it, I have seen you use AI tools before and that segment was not really aimed at people that do understand it even though it was your post that prompted me to write this post. (Ba dum tss)
Yeah I get where you're coming from, things that take effort and are documented to portray what went into something deserve rewards. Similar like an artist showing their progress and workflow.
