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.

I don't plan on making blog-type posts a habit or anything, but this post got resurrected again recently and I felt like I was going to explode if I didn't say something about it. Tell me if you've had similar experiences.

I have a bunch of OG ones from the 90s, connection v1 and v2, connection v6 music star and the tamatown tama-go. This might be a weird pick, but the v6 music star was probably the most fun one to see progress - it felt like there was a lot to see and do. The tama-go was cool but really bulky so I felt like I couldn't take it out to places with me, since it can't really go into a pocket...

I would like the Pix (the newest release with the camera and color graphics) if I could find it for a reasonable price. I have other assorted virtual pets in my collection, GigaPets, Digimon and off-brands. Tbh one of my favorites is just the Pocket Pikachu even though there's not much of the "pet" aspect, it's just cool to have a toy that incentivses exercise and evolves the more of it you do!

I don't know a whole lot about the Tamagotchi Smart, like the Pix I would grab it if I saw it for a reasonable price. I think it's the natural evolution of the series. My main issue with it is the fact that I will never have the 1996 Friends card. ;_;

More overdue adding of mutual buttons, but of course none of the webpage thumbnails are correct. I want to read other people's dream journals but I forget which people I follow have them. Tell me if you have one.

like imagine having a peaceful night in your cold room, its 9PM and your insence made with star anis and cinnamon is speading its scent all over the room like how a farmer sows his land, and then you hear random doots and deets coming from your neighbor's house, reminding you of that one time in 1989 when you vomited of the floors of a local discotheque

I accidentally deleted your comment think it was a reply button (I wish they would put the reply button next to the last comment, like on Reddit). I agree with you on the theme score part about Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt and its existence is justified through that. I will add this to the tail end of my review once it is nearing completion.

For anyone following me who does art: I am doing ArtFight for the first time this year, and am committed to a 100% return rate... It's 1/3 of the way through the event and still no activity, so I can definitely guarantee returns. ^_^;

I'm lagging behind on personal site updates, although I will slowly add a few more bits and pieces. My actual passion project is my D&D 5E homebrew page, Keltokel. It's not especially aesthetic, but if custom worlds and ttrpgs are interesting to you, it would make me really happy if you glanced at it!

Some overdue additions to the mutuals - I only add people who provide a button link to their page, though, so if you're a mutual and you make one at a later stage please let me know.

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.
