Asking this here rather than on Keltokel because there are many more of you here: how do you guys feel about displaying AI generated art? I'm in the MidJourney and Dall-e 2 betas and I've been using them to generate portraits of some characters in my campaign that I either can't or don't want to hand draw.

Obviously with clear attribution, it drives me up the wall when I see people post AI generated art and try to pass it off as their own authentic artwork. This is currently plaguing DeviantART and other amateur art sites.
im prob in the minority here but i have 0 issue with it. i know a lot of people see it as art theft and ive seen a lot of hub bub on twitter about it being bad but i tend to look at it like a "remix" or how you can use someone's video in your youtube video because it falls under fair use.
There is no problem with that imo. I think this tech is really cool and unlocks a lot of creativity that is held back by a lack of "talent". The AI isn't doing 100% of the work, it isn't coming up with the unique/interesting prompts for what you want it to create, so no shame in posting what you get it to come up with and claim some credit.
Re: Pomelo, that's honestly a fair point, especially with how differenciated AI art is from whatever individual pieces of data it's trained on... it's seaming together thousands of images from context and with randomness algorithms too. Re: lhfm, I'm glad you think so! I think it can be used responsibly.
i think the only legitimate criticism of it I've seen is professional freelance artists who pay their bills doing concept art and illustration are uspet that they may be "replaced" because an AI can not only design but render a character for p much free. Other than that its cool and fun
@lhfm i dont think i agree with the last part. even if you come up with the idea, you still didn't make the image. you still give credit when commissioning an artist for a picture of your character. this is almost the same thing. except the ai is drawing it for you rather than someone else. also, there are people behind the ais development that deserve credit for what their creation can do.
