How do you feel about AI artwork used in your campaign?

I’m involved with a couple or PbP games that use it to help keep people involved and I rather enjoy it.

Just to be clear, I’m not talking about AI art being used in manuals. I’m talking about art being generated for use in a specific campaign.

Thoughts?

    I love it.

    I was excited about Stable Diffusion in the first place, but it’s really added something to our game, at least for me. My group are generally very visual people, so I employ a lot of splash screens and art inserts in our VTT. In the past I would just find something online with image search that was close enough to what I had in mind and modify it as best I could. I’m a decent compositor and editor, but I can’t draw or paint from scratch worth shit.

    Now I can generate and build a piece of art that depicts exactly what I imagine. The only people who are going to see it are my players, and anyone who looks at my post if I decide to post it on Reddit (or well, Lemmy now).

    I know there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding the tech right now, but having used it quite a bit I really do believe that human artists are not going to become obsolete. When things settle out I think this tech is going to be a powerful tool for artists to use.
