"final Magic products" Them some carefully chosen words. Means they will use AI to come up with something then someone will copy it to be final. They may also take it into Photoshop and remove elements or fix fingers so now the final product is not AI generated.
Ye olde Made* in the USA tactic

I wonder if the artist will get fired for using the magic select tool in Photoshop. That uses AI / machine learning too. It's literally just using AI to highlight AI generated items.
@Morgikan @ThePantser People tend to use "generative AI" for what they aren't to use. The magic select tool isn't generative AI.
Generative AI is just machine learning, the same as the magic tool. The difference is in application with one being used for prediction and the other for generation. The two are more alike than they are dissimilar.
i think using ai to fill in the rest of a cloud texture or increase the fidelity on a background character's hair is a more likely use case. that's where the real benefit of these tools exists; i doubt most artists are just going to prompt, tinker, done. but there's a lot of work artists do that can be sped up with generative models without compromising the art or the artist
