[QUOTE="NaturalZero, post: 9369816, member: 55705"] I was in college around 2000 and took a lot of art classes. Photoshop was evocative to me and I was using it draw things by hand while even my professors were only teaching photo editing. At the schools I went to, digital illustration wasn't a thing and I was often told by lay people that drawing with Photoshop was not art because "the computer makes the colors and textures for you." Fast forward to 2024 and digital illustration is widely considered a valid art form but somehow using a generative tool to tweak the smoke effect on an illustration of a giant will get banned from a WotC book for using "AI". I haven't used Photoshop in a few years but every ad I see for it show that it's has, or will have, generative AI baked in as a basic functionality. It's only a matter of time before all digital art is at least a little bit "AI". I get that there's certainly a huge difference between putting in a prompt and getting a finalized piece and using generative tech to manipulate something done by hand but the extremists don't care. We need to be able to have a rational discourse on how AI is going fit into everything going forward because it's not going anywhere and right now we have people using tools to enhance their work getting banned along side people making entire images whole-cloth.
