It’s strange that the issue seems to be “will ai take over jobs for artists?” I value my daughters art because it’s snapshots into her thoughts. Hers. She doesn’t have to make money from it but being encouraged to be creative growing up is what I’m aiming for. My parents didn’t discourage creativity but they certainly never gave me direction or encouragement and I suffer from it.

Personally I believe ai art is fantastic. Rejecting it would be like “old people” when new genres of music are created. I like the idea of eventually using an ai to show me, visually, what I’m thinking in picture form. I’d rather not pay some dude $100 and hope he nails it. With ai I can just narrow or broaden my terms and it’d not going to be $50+ per try.

Sometimes warhammer art is perfect for how I visualization it. And many other times there are scenes that are just okay and I would’ve been bummed had I been the one to commission it.
