Outside of the ethical issues behind the core technology in imagenet and LAION in the first place, and the ethical issue of scraping all the training data, and the ethical issues of replacing skilled and talented artists with robots built from their work...

Actually the more you think about it... there's a lot of ethical issues with Gen-AI.

Let's pretend we don't care about ethics for the moment. A situation like this is one where many people were going to just steal the art anyway.

One of the other problems with AI art is, it's low quality. Do you care about the quality of the art in the purpose you're using it for? - often for ttrpg monster art, people don't care that much, so it's a purpose that AI art can fulfill.

Check out my post history in the character art community here, I'm okay with shitty art for a home game, heheh. But yeah, I know what you mean. There's usually some kind of uncanny overall feel to ai images. The eyes in particular never seem to look right, like there's no intention behind them. Mercifully, the VTT I use has each tile only about 70-100 pixels wide, so as long as you're not zooming in too close, the fucked up details don't really stand out.

Our party has an oread inventor in the team whose token is AIgenned, and although she looks kind of weird, it's not so jarring as to take me out of it at least.
