Nothing had changed on that front. No one's doing non-literal semantic deconstruction and reconstruction of art. This is perhaps due to irresponsible and thoughtless atmospheres surrounding AI image generators and its core developer circles selectively filtering out those with relevant backgrounds.

Maybe some Google products are a bit of an exception, but they're default 5-10 years ahead until it stops updating 15 years before going open source, so that's besides the point.

Other than that, it's all techbros making tangential changes and claiming changes were made. Changes maybe, improvements, not really happening.
