Oh there are definitely some strongly opinionated people out there that loathe it. You’ll see them in discords sometimes, letting everyone know how much they support artists and how AI is evil. You’ll see it in some game reviews too. They’re like vegans.
yeah, you see it in reddit, discord, twitch, youtube, modding. the mere hint of a.i. art will spark an irrational hate. sure its not everyone.. those that do. crazy. they will sniff it out, they will go to great lengths to prove it and loudly call it out, and create hate mobs.
I tried to discuss using A.i. art to enhance CRPG portraits. you know how games like wrath of the righteous, etc have like 10 portraits, and thats it. and most allow importing?
A.i. would be a great way to solve the portrait issue. they could hire artists to do 10 portraits, and then use A.i. to modify those existing artworks. you could have baseartwork, then have a.i. modify that art on the fly, to match your current gear.
yeah, that discussion did not go well.
I would say only do it, if you understand the risks, and are ready to take an actual ethical stance on it. if you are doing it, just because, its easy and you can. it could potentially come back to bite you in the ass, if you ever in the future, find yourself in a situation to make profits of a game, such as a vampire survivors runaway hit.
