I mean, that's kind of implicitly included in there, but that's also not the real concern of AI art as much as what I describe. Again, I think the fact that Ilya did some AI stuff on his own art isn't bad as much as it makes the pieces honestly worse. But the bigger issues with AI are largely...

This misses a lot of the actual issues raised by AI art, like the fact that it can't exist without scraping other people's accounts for art to imitate and basically plagiarize. It's not creating something out of nothing, it's basically copying someone else's style using their works and giving...

I have seen it and it's not too far off. They honestly look more like hands than proper paws, but the blobbiness of it all makes it difficult anyways. The back paws honestly might look even worse, and they also resemble closed hands a bit.

Maybe, but I think that there's a sort of "uncanny valley" with AI stuff that people get set off by. It fudges details in such a way, especially fine details, that you can feel like something is a bit off. There were people commenting on it specifically, but I always feel like AI drawings like...

I mean, those would have to be actual facts and they very much aren't, especially if you've been following the discourse around this even at a cursory level. It's so weird that people want to find ways of making this some sort of benign mistake when Wizards pointedly did not take a stance on AI...

At a certain level it could kind of work if you wanted a very simplified game, but you'd need to also greatly simplify the spell list, too. Fighters will hit hard and accurately, Barbs will hit even harder but also get hit more, Paladins will still get their reactions, Rogues will get their...

We can't say for sure. She may assume it is him, since he is the one who has been identified, but let's not take it as a confirmation. Not yet, at least.

I mean, sometimes. Again, clothing is a big tell with AI art because it doesn't really handle it well and it just sort of blends it all together. You can really see it with the Frostmourn, where the sketch has much firmer shapes and lines in the clothing while the AI version is just sort of...

I mean, at a certain level I do get it: AI can fill in details really quickly and can do a sometimes passable job. To me, it generally looks very muddy (AI with clothing is generally a tell for me) but sometimes it's okay. Again, I think it's incredibly sad given that the sketched art given was...

I would, too, but they apparently let this go despite the fact that the instant they released it people immediately noticed the problems with it. When someone like me can tell that something is wrong, I feel like an art director should have noticed. It's why I think it's more likely that they...

Yeah, I think the idea of "This is new tech, how could they know?" is a very, very low standard to hold. I find it difficult to believe that this person didn't have any idea of the process of someone who is doing final art pieces for your book. How do you hire them without asking or finding out...

Better question: did they actually review it in the first place?

Honestly I'm amazed that the Frost Giantess drawing passed scrutiny even without being identified as AI art. That one just looks bad. But given that it seems this guy was specifically hired to "enhance" or otherwise do something with these pictures, seems negligent that they wouldn't look into...

Saving it for GenCon, I assume? Or are they not there this year? I honestly haven't been paying attention to the convention circuit.

I'm a PDF person, so DDB was always a bad format for me. But overall it does look very nice from what it's giving you, I just haven't had a need to use it yet.

It looks like instead of +Stat they are looking to add some level of versatility to each Cantrip to try and make up for it. For example, the aforementioned Ignition also has a Melee mode which uses d6s instead of d4s, so you can be Roy Mustang in the streets and Kyo Kusanagi in the sheets. More...

Yeah, they're starting to get out there. Here is NoNat1s giving the basics of the Kineticist, which sounds like a doozy of a class. He describes it as complicated, but capable of just about anything.

How It Is Played did a preview of the Fire side of things recently:

It's not about refusing to shoot people, it's about their class being the exact opposite: their features are meant to get in to close range and fight it out. Flurry of Blows is their iconic feature, and their big benefit from Martial Arts is not only to be able to fight unarmed well, but to also...

I mean, unless we went over to Greyhawk Initiative, which... honestly, I think would be a wild improvement in terms of making the game interesting, but I know I'm probably in the minority there.
