‘It’s too powerful a technology’
I suspect this will be more and more common in the future.
I wonder if this can really be stopped.
I think being transparent about what is AI generated or not is very important so we can choose to support "original content" creator.
Maybe AI will make "original creators" more recognition.

AI will be everywhere going forward. And that’s fine.
The issue is more how it will be used.
There are two other pretty big problems. One is that there's a huge climate impact with runaway energy use, and the other is that it's a very expensive means of production which leads to further concentration of wealth & power.
I’m so unbothered by this. It’s sad for illustrators (and I say this as somebody with a daughter who dreamt of becoming a concept artist, and now clearly understands this isn’t going to happen) but time marches on.
We don’t have type setters any more. Cars have (largely) replaced horses.
I think the best compromise I’ve heard is: AI generated output hasn’t been made by a human so can’t be copyrighted.
I may be in the minority here when I say I don't see the problem. AI trained on millions of publicly available images used to speed up the concept stage of development seems like fair use to me. Like the developer says, commercial artists have always used other folks work to speed up their development, that sounds more problematic to me than drawing inspiration from a huge dataset.
"Fair use" has a specific meaning in copyright law. If something replaces the need for something else in the market, it's almost certainly not fair use. Generative AI replaced the need to hire an original artist.
So much hot air for nothing. AI generated text or just a "good" human?
I mean, in todays board game space with so many classics and new releases its cool to know two companies i dont have to bother buying games from
Why do you care? Their lead artist is the one using the AI tools and it’s not just full generation of images, they use it as a reference tool and as a filler. People are up in arms about AI art but are oblivious to the context in which it’s used. If a studio fires their artists and only uses AI, sure, that’s a bad thing. That’s not even remotely what’s happening at Fryx Games.
I'm excited. As long as the output is curated. It allows small developers to make really exciting large projects. On a small budget. So we're going to see a diversity in the creative space.
And this isn't going to kill artists. We're going through a evolutionary period, where the source art is going to have some wonderful debate in the copyright scheme. But you still need a source concept in order to generate from.
