Poll: AI-generated art in my content?
Added 2023-01-19 12:01:25 +0000 UTCI've been playing around with Midjourney from about October 2022 and I'm steadily finding more things it can be used for. This is due to my ability to prompt and Midjourney's improving algorithm. Initially it was just fantasy landscapes of Port Nyanzaru or a Jungle scene (which are admittedly quite rough and gestural), or another style of location art for my TotEM location cards. All quite experimental. Recently however, I've used dozens of images which I photobashed and painted to create the roofs of the Trickster God Shrines to incorporate them as seamlessly as I could into those 9 maps.
This technology is relatively new in terms of what its full impact on artists will be. Some argue it'll kill their job or worse all creative pursuits, while others argue its an overall additive to artists and the potential birth of all new creative pursuits. My personal point of view is a little of column A, little of column B. Regardless, two camps are quickly forming — and I'd like to get a heads up as to how you all feel about its use.
What I don't want to do is alienate everyone because I'm having fun with a tool that everyone has collectively decided is bereft of any merit.
I've posted the same poll (just with more words in the options because Patreon has a character limit) on the Discord.
If you have a response that isn't covered below, let me know either via a message here or on Discord. Thanks.
Poll question:
How do you feel about the use of AI art generators in the maps & things I make on this Patreon?
