Every artist has been inspired and influenced by every artist who’s work they have seen. Art is not created in a vacuum. Copying a style you like is not theft, it's flattery.

Some people seem to be of the opinion that disliking AI is virtue signaling in some way and there’s an awful lot of virtue signaling in today’s society. People have lost touch with the basics of society and living in a group.

There’s nothing wrong with an artist using any tools that are available to him or her. Is a graphic artist I often write my own scripts and plugins for the software that I use. That doesn't make me any less of an artist.

Exactly. The steps taken to achieve an artwork are irrelevant what matters is the final result. When a sculptor mounted a toilet on a pedestal and called it an artwork did anyone get upset because he was using something made by another company? I think this whole thing is just a lot of nonsense people are looking for…

Yes we are seeing a lot of drama queens looking for a scene.

I think this is pretty cool. I’ve never really been a big d&d player and I’ve never purchased one of their books but I would actually buy this one just because it’s the first to contain AI imaging or in this case enhancement. I’ve always been a tech guy and loved all things tech computers software and I am a graphic…

Not at all. It's a perfectly acceptable tool like any other tool. Use it if you e want to and doing use it if you don't want to. I like art no matter what the source.

Actually it’s not. Copyright law allows me to make a picture just like any picture I find as long as I don’t say it is that original picture and try to sell it as such. And if it's fire educational purposes then I can even use the original without permission.

AI is only problematic for those that want to find problems in everything. And if they don't find a problem to complain about, that's a problem too.

Lol sure. It’s ok because liberal Democrats don’t believe in souls or God or anything along those lines.

It’s no worse than using a camera to make a picture rather than painting it. Or using software to edit rather than doing it with a pencil and eraser. AI isn’t bad. This isn’t summer, it’s an artist’s tool.

AI is a tool. Computers are a tool. Software is a tool. People have been using tools since the dawn of mankind. Tools are good, they are our friends, and not something to be feared.

I have those both on my PC too though, so it’s less important as both locations have fantastic picture and sound quality. Home theater in the living rooms (upstairs and downstairs) and monitor speakers with rear satellites and sub wife at the desk in the office. The desk monitor is 3440×1440 and good a larger…

Name checks.

It did do well.

Most do have disk drives, it’s just new ones that you have to use an external drive on or install a new drive into after the fact.

A better idea than the cage match is to let them each put on a vest containing c4 and dynamite and then give each one a remote control that will detonate the other and see what happens.

You seem to know a lot about the people there like way too much for an outsider.

The whole problem with this cage match idea was that it included Elon Musk who is famous for never following through on anything he says.
