AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

I am inclined to agree with you. People hate AI imagery. If they didn't, I might have considered using it for less important pieces. My game-in-progress currently has all work by me and one other person I hired for a few pieces, plus some CC0 textures I modified, and a bit of CC0 floral ornamentation, and I might add in some CC0 nature photography I filtered (the old fashioned way, no AI) to make it look like watercolour. I was planning to buy some 3d models and render them in blender for the places where stock art could be acceptable. You do not need to use AI Image generation, and people do truly hate it.

+1 for blender, they are a good org and should be supported, I have used blender artists for that reason.

Yes, and the US Copyright Office agrees.

Okay, if you insist that the US Copyright office agrees that your time has no value, I'll believe you.

But really, what you posted, while true, was orthogonal to the point that was being made.
