  Recent developments in prompt-based generative AI has given rise to discourse
surrounding the perceived ethical concerns, economic implications, and
consequences for the future of cultural production. As generative imagery
becomes pervasive in mainstream society, dominated primarily by emerging
industry leaders, we encourage that the role of the CHI community be one of
inquiry; to investigate the numerous ways in which generative AI has the
potential to, and already is, augmenting human creativity. In this paper, we
conducted a diffractive analysis exploring the potential role of prompt-based
interfaces in artists' creative practice. Over a two week period, seven visual
artists were given access to a personalised instance of Stable Diffusion,
fine-tuned on a dataset of their work. In the following diffractive analysis,
we identified two dominant modes adopted by participants, AI for ideation, and
AI for production. We furthermore present a number of ethical design
considerations for the future development of generative AI interfaces.
