[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9541773, member: 7030563"] There is also an argument that maybe people should not have a job of artist in the modern world or perhaps there should be far fewer of them (as there are still small numbers of people working as scribes). The internet and message boards like this one are absolutely taking jobs from printed newspapers, bookstores, libraries, churches, barber shops and other places. Areas where large numbers are losing jobs today, yet there is no moral argument made against using computers or even artists advertising on the internet. When it comes to intellectual property; Dungeons and Dragons itself "stole" heavily from other works, particularly Tolkein, and then like AI actually released this "stolen" property into the public domain. The thread between licensed work and the final product in most RPGs is a lot stronger than the thread between AI art and an original artist. If using AI art in your game is "stealing" then isn't it "stealing" to even playing RPGs with with Orcs and Halflings at all? In any case me using AI art in my games harms no one as I would not be hiring anyone for that anyway. Even if you subscribe to the argument that I am "stealing" from them (I don't), it is still not harmful to them. Even if it is stealing; it is like stealing day old bread out of the garbage after someone threw it away, or taking a couch someone put out to be picked up by the trash. To date I have only used AI art in my game. I plan to start using it to do a first draft writing of rooms, not the final but to give me something to start working with. [/QUOTE]
