I recently saw someone say "technique is a tool not a goal" and that sums up my own beliefs about art. Realism in art is not interesting on it's own, for example, but it can be used effectively to create something interesting.

This doubly applies to the boom of AI images. Folks are so impressed with the technique that they often don't explore their own ideas. Eventually it all starts to look the same. If you generate AI images at all, don't just make something pretty or cool for the sake of being pretty or cool, but actually explore the limits of the software and your own imagination. Get weird with it. Try to break the damn thing if you can and see what happens.

Midjourney
In D&D ttrpg there is a race of hyena people called Gnolls. They were originally a cross between a gnome and a troll, so I'm not sure how the hyena aspect started, but that's where it sits today.
