Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reynard" data-source="post: 9313374" data-attributes="member: 467">It matters to you. That's not really what I was asking, broadly. Commercial art is already churned out and of dubious quality, with companies paying as little as they can for it. To the average consumer, does it matter if that slides from"slave wages" to "made by AI"? I don't think it does, because I don't think most people give even a few seconds thought about where their consumer goods come from."AI Free" is going to become the next "Non-GMO" label slapped on things to make very shallow concern trolls feel better about their culpability in supporting terrible business practices in order to enjoy cheap goods. And like GMO Karen, AI Kyle doesn't actually know why he is mad, what the technology does or means, or anything else beyond  "that thing bad."Don't get me wrong: AI generated art is a problem and will definitely serve companies while screwing both artists and consumers. But in many cases, commercial art is already exploitative. Why do you think Marvel comics farms for artists in South and Central America? Do you really think the artists are just inherently better there? or, go on Fivrr and see how low you can bid your art. that's where a lot of the stuff you see in small press work is coming from.But, really, we have had the AI art argument over and over. That isn't really what this thread is about. Ai assisted, LLM based tools for running your campaign are a really good idea and are definitely coming. Even with tools at the stage they are now, not tweaked specifically for it, you can get a lot of great mileage out of AI in relation to gaming. And it isn't stealing any jobs. You weren't going to hire a meatbag DM assistant anyway.</blockquote>
