[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9517512, member: 7030563"] I am not buying their labor, I am buying the image. As far as the burger comparison, in the same fashion I can get a better burger from my own oven. Saying I should not use AI because it does not support artists is like saying I should not cook my own hot dogs and hamburgers because it does not support restaurant chefs. Also, I am supporting the human workers programming and developing the LLMs and AI tools and in the burger comparison I am supporting the workers at the food store and those working at the power company. If it takes them a whole day, which I don't think it does. In any case, I get generally around $80 for a 4-hour paid D&D session after paying the service charge. A 4-hour session takes about 6 hours of prep time, so after taking out costs, I would say $6.25 an hour is probably not much less than what I am getting ..... if it actually takes them a whole day to do it. I am more than willing to compensate them for the value of their work (i.e. the product or work of art), but not for their labor. One-for-one I find the AI images to generally be about as good for me as the human-generated images for the games I play. Some are better than others (and some a lot worse), but generally about equal. On a cost and timeliness basis though, the AI images are way better, not just a little better, but a lot better for me and my games. [/QUOTE]
