Mood. Even if they're using internal art to generate the art, it's still bad all around. Bad for the environment, bad for morale, bad for artists, bad for their look. So many people excusing it on reddit today and it's so frustratingggggg.

Such a big mood. I find I mostly just wish I could be paid a living wage, so I largely redirect my envy toward those actively making it harder for artists to be successful and paid fairly.

It is especially sad to see this huge push for gen-ai in hobby TTRPG spaces. Sometimes people look at me like I'm out of my mind when I say I don't play in groups that allow gen-AI in any capacity. I get that we are all money struggling rn, but gen-AI is not the answer.

Artists and writers continue to lose work to rich greedy corporations and tech-bros using generative AI instead of paying real life people to use their hard earned skills. Then it all trickles down and commission artists start losing work too, not just corporate artists.

Precisely. It's always rich management that pushes this kind of cost cutting crap. And they often have little to no artistic backgrounds either. I hope enough staff pushes back that they'll stop using it.

They said they just use the gen AI tools to explore potential ideas and argue it's the same as opening art books or browsing Google 😑🙄. Even if they don't outright use the gen-ai to produce in-game art, it still uses and relies on it, which takes away work from artists IMO.

Yeah I felt similarly going to a local market yesterday. I didn't think people's prices were bad, I just can't afford nice things anymore and a lot of people are in the same boat. It just sucks that we have to choose between having fun little things that make us happy or paying for groceries. Ugh.

Her husband was a football guy and got a lot of press from that, but it seems like she fell off the radar over the years. I just don't want her or her positive impact to be forgotten!

Most of the action and backgrounds and such were Green screen and it wasn't even good green screen (lots of scaling errors). Whose call was it to dial up the weird and dial down the practical effects??
