honestly I don't entirely hate AI art
there is clearly a way to have fun with this kind of technology
in addition if you draw or create a character and you use the AI to create a background like a meadow or even lighting effects where is the problem?
moreover if AI art could generate perfect images without the need to retouch them I am sure that many more people would have nothing to reproach it with (apart from perhaps its database but that is not the question )
on the other hand what I hate is having to pay a guy who uses a lot of shitty excuses to justify that the updates of his damn game will take time to be finished, while doing a complete overhaul of his drawings with of AI when most fans told him they didn't want it.
the biggest problem for me is that some artists use AI to be even more lazy when they were already intensely
there are also artists like Rannero who purposely use AI to be able to extract even more money without having to get tired, moreover to be even more precise he conditions his fans gradually so that more Lately, his fans find it normal that his projects take a long time to come out even if he uses AI (this guy already has everything planned)
on the other hand if an artist uses AI for basic things that will help him go faster while keeping his own style and drawing his own designs then I see no disadvantage in it
especially if this artist doesn't release content every 3 or 4 years XD
on the other hand today I would never pay for an illustration or a game entirely made by AI
However, I am not saying that this will not be the case one day, because given how quickly this technology is evolving we would be very surprised to see where it will be used. it will even be possible that one day we will no longer even see the difference between AI drawings and “normal” drawings.
of course, this is only a personal opinion, I am not saying that it will be definitive but I would like to know what others think of it.
