Interesting topic. I've seen two developments that give me some hope. First, AI depends basically upon the internet as a source for its image training. As more and more AI art floods the internet it appears to be creating a sort of feedback loop. AI images are starting to generate almost identical compositions, losing their 'artificial' creativity. This 'sameness' makes the images easier to spot and less useful. The video I saw on the subject put it this way: "Garbage in garbage out." Secondly, some developers are devising a sort of hidden watermark artist can use when posting art online. It 'poisons' AI algorithms and causes them to really screw up the images they produce. It would be good to see something like this become widely adopted.
AI is a truly powerful tool! It's easy to learn but hard to master. There's a vast array of masterpieces that can be generated or created with AI for games!
You know what else is hard to master? Artistic skill and a discerning eye. Again, I ask (as I did in the video) who is the “master” behind this piece using Gen AI? The person using the tool, or that artist whose art has been pilfered to feed the AI? And what about the artists that have been cast aside when replaced by machines?

I think Google has an opinion about this. I liked the video, and the count remains at zero... Agree on all points.
it's ok, i still feel the love

@@WdTPD answered on BGG. Or maybe better to make conversation here for channel activity?
