WotC's Statement Against the Use of Generative AI in Magic (magic.wizards.com)

For 30 years, Magic: The Gathering has been built on the innovation, ingenuity, and hard work of talented people who sculpt a beautiful, creative game. That isn't changing. Our internal guidelines remain the same with regard to artificial intelligence tools: We require artists, writers, and creatives contributing to the Magic TCG to refrain from using AI generative tools to create final Magic products. We work with some of the most talented artists and creatives in the world, and we believe those people are what makes Magic great.

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.
