Rolemaster / Re: Rolemaster Unified art: what happened?
« Last post by 5th Knight of Xar on May 03, 2024, 01:42:47 AM »I have a simple rule when it comes to AI artwork in creative products: Absolutely not.What do you see as the difference?
Use it at your table for personal stuff (AI icons for characters in a game... sure).
The problem I see with all those who are trying to say AI art is copyright infringement is that it's using a massive existing database of media to create new art. That is what the vast majority of living human artists do. So long as you're not trying to pass work off as an original you can create close facsimiles of existing art and sell them. Otherwise there wouldn't be categories of art, like 'Impressionist'. Only a vast collection of individual and unique pieces of art that couldn't be labelled by a category.
Now, don't get me wrong... I don't particularly want AI generated art on my walls. Hell, I'll take that a step further and say I'd rather have actual paintings and not prints of those paintings. But in a board game or RPG books? Couldn't care less. I'm not going to hang them on my wall.
Taking note that your moral compass is off regarding artists and art creation; let's assume you have some high regard towards your own creations since you're listing them in your signature. Would you be ok to have your work and the works of other rpg authors fed into for example ChatGPT, allowing others to use said material to create new works without you being compensated and credited(not to mention making you obsolete in the process)?
