This is absolutely incorrect. "Every piece of software" is completely bogus in every respect. I am a designer/ illustrator that exclusively uses GIMP & other programs that are not only free to use, but they do not incorporate any kind of gen-ai tools, they will not be force-integrating them...

Sure, but so far that has not been the case in this thread. From my perspective, folks opposed to gen-ai are being labeled as Luddites, and this has occurred pretty frequently in previous conversations revolving around this subject as well over the years, right here on the forums. Maybe we are...

I agree 100%, but my post was not an appeal to empathy (that was just one line of the text), it was an attempt to put the "Luddite" myth to rest. Too many people fling that word around as an insult, implying that those who are opposed to gen-ai are uneducated, knuckle-dragging evolutionary...

To folks labeling those opposed to gen-ai as "Luddites," you have not only failed to learn from history, but you are perpetuating dangerous rhetoric that was once used to sentence workers to death for fighting against their increasingly grim working conditions. You are also dehumanizing people...

Yeah I get it Silicius, and I agree with you, but I also don't think Chris Cox got the message (as he is currently raving about using ai tools and incorporating them into dnd). One of the biggest problems with gen-ai is the disconnect between us normal folks, and the C-Suite executives that...

Voting No, Never. I know that this is kind of a casual question that you are asking, but the implications for wotc, should they start openly incorporating generated ai slop into their publications, are not very good. 1. Works created by AI are not valid for copyright: This is a serious concern...

MTG is primarily printed in Japan, all mainline/tentpole sets/sheets are printed and cut in Japan, then shipped worldwide. MTG primarily prints through Cartamundi, which is a Belgium-based company (largely printing the foreign language print runs, with facilities in the UK, Germany, Poland...

If this is your perspective, then that's fine, for you I guess. Just don't be surprised that when you treat everything like that, well, you get what you pay for... Part of being a good client is knowing how to work with other people towards a common goal. Treating someone like that is not going...

I guess we will simply have to agree to disagree on this one, different perspectives and all. Cheers! I understand what you are saying, but I think this boils down to your personal preferences, and that is fine, but I don't think that it would be easy to as you say, work with another person in...

@Faolyn actually summed up some really good responses to your questions, so I feel like a lot of my replies would be redundant, but I will try to add some of my own experience on the subject if that helps. Part of the challenge of commissioning artists is that they cannot read minds, they will...

I agree that machine learning won't be going away, but that pre-existed gen-ai, and actually has different applications for practical use than something that was made using an LLM. My point is that the "free" model of ai image generstion has already peaked (IMHO), they are burning billions every...

This is actually one of the reasons that I quit doing freelance commissions, as I don't like being asked to do 1:1 copies of other pieces of art (and thankfully, I have never had the displeasure of personally being asked to redo an ai-generated image). The primary purpose of hiring any...

A simple web search can show you that Glaze & Nightshade are tools developed for use for artists that are trying to protect their artwork from data scraping their work without consent, credit, or compensation. You run your artwork through these applications, that are made for and provided to...

Well, I never said it was going away altogether, I said that nothing (save for death I guess, even taxes are avoidable for the mega-rich) is inevitable. Beta-Max tapes, although superior to VHS (500 lines vs 240 lines in VHS tapes), were once thought to become the dominant media cassette, they...

I honestly don't. After years of extensive research, MIT has concluded that ai companies will effectively run out of new training data by 2026, forcing them to then train on "synthetic data" instead. Training an ai on synthetic gen-ai data is proven to lead to model collapse. IMHO, gen-ai has...

I won't speak for other artists, but my personal policy has already been to avoid anything ai generated for several years now, since it first appeared for public use in 2022. That means that I will do my best to make sure that other artists I work with won't be using it in any projects that I...

I am really late to the debate, but as a traditional artist I do appreciate this policy.

Hi there, welcome to the forums! Mkay, so you have decided to delve into art commissions, that is great! I would recommend that you have some kind of game plan in place before you commission an artist: things such as your budget, your time-frame (when you want to start and when you want it...

I have been working on physical prints lately, so here are some finished prints of my art from 2023. The first piece is a new playmat I plan on using during my upcoming playtest (hopefully early next year). The second are some of my recent vinyl stickers. I feel that physical prints are...

I am trying my best. I am not perfect though, I am prone to making mistakes just like anybody else. I can name hundreds of use cases that are beneficial and not harmful, but many of those particular cases involve machine learning, or in some cases narrow ai, and not they do not necessarily...
