Dungeons & Dragons tells illustrators to stop using AI to generate artwork for fantasy franchise::The Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game franchise says it won’t allow artists to use artificial intelligence technology to draw its cast of sorcerers, druids and other characters and scenery.
Okay, except doesn’t D&D Beyond offer AI tools? Seems inconsistent.
Just because they offer AI tools for people to use for their things doesn’t mean they want to pay for people to use AI tools for official art
Let computers be computery and paper be original art.
But…. Isn’t most art made on computers nowadays?
On, not by
How do they plan on checking this? Sure some ai models you can see patterns, for now. With a touchover after the generation though it becomes literally impossible to trace
I’m guessing the coded message here is “if you’re going to use AI art, make sure nobody can tell”. I can’t imagine Hasbro actually cares if people use model-generated art, just if they have to deal with the PR of being found out.
Yea I agree
Good, though the move is probably to avoid any issues while the legalities around Art-AI datasets gets cleared up. Further, the SoMe accounts of the artist who triggered this case is plastered with AI generated art and NFTs, so that might have been a clue.
Good to hear. Art should be valued over expediency.
