I’ve been reading about the user revolt on the Twin Peaks subreddit calling for
a ban on AI art. As best I can tell we don’t really have people posting AI stuff
here yet, but I’m wondering if it would be a good idea to ban it before it
becomes a problem. I’m soliciting feedback from y’all on this, please let me
know what you prefer.
While I would never try to publish something generated by AI, I do use AI tools for PC and NPC portraits (mostly this person doesn’t exist, because I suck at prompting) in a personal capacity for games I’m in. I prefer it to taking historical photos and using those, which I’ve known several GM’s to do, often without checking who the person was, or assigning the photo of a civil rights activist as a villain (yeah, don’t play in that game any more).
I have mixed feelings on AI as a field. I don’t believe it is reliable when it comes to decisions or coding. But it can be useful as a starting point. For people with zero artistic skill and limited funds it can be a useful tool.
I would say “no promotion or selling of AI generated content, but discussion of AI and it’s possible uses is okay”. I don’t even mind posting of AI art, as long as it is clearly labeled.
Generally, I agree with you. While I don’t like it, I think AI art is going to be with us for a while especially for individual games. I’ve never been an artist and I’m never going to be.
That being said, I think it’s important for creators to preserve the craft of art. And I believe it’s the responsibility of publishers to purchase and use that art. Made by humans for humans.
