[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 9224878, member: 18182"] They didn't name the artist. There is no accusation. To make this not "one-sided", they would have to name the artist, which could bring a lot of harm to that person. Perhaps deservedly, but I respect them avoiding that situation. It's not screwy. You're going to see a lot more news items like this as we coast into 2024 and beyond. The use of AI in art has exploded in recent years and accelerated even more in 2023. It's controversial, and gets some folks really upset. It's wise for companies to get ahead of this sort of thing, and communicate that to their fans/customers. And, within our small community here, it's news. A lot of artists and creators are using AI to create all sorts of art, including RPG games. Some are doing it to cut corners, some to save money, others because they love being on the forefront of exploring new technology and techniques. And a growing number of fans are becoming aware and are loudly unhappy with the trend. You are engaging in conspiracy-theory style thinking, like somehow this is a publicity stunt by Nightfall Games. Occam's Razor, it is what it is, a small company updating fans on the progress of their latest game, and discussing an art issue they've run into. No more, no less. We only need to hear from the artist if they are directly named and accused. Which hasn't happened. [/QUOTE]
