    spamming this cringe bullshit across a bunch of different instances doesn’t make you any less of a permavirgin slop fiend who loves to be cucked by corporations

    It’s akin to letting the shady mechanic under the shady tree to overhaul your engine. Cheaper and shittier.

    Edit: in short OP want to pay slave wages for hours of expertise work. You and corpos deserve each other.

      “Bu-bu-but chudgamer1488 on YouTube told me that artists are the real elite, not the billionaires who exploit them!”

        The sad thing of genAI is the one that affected the most is the small artist that barely surviving.

      Yes, but sometimes the garage mechanic is good enough and the only alternative is hugely overpriced “official maintenance”

        Yeah, at the start of a campaign sure. You hand draw something or find something existing. But at the end of a 20level campaign lasting 3-5 years, $60 doesn’t seem so bad to commemorate years of joy spent with friends. Hell, the pizza alone costs thousands over that same time span.

    You can, in fact, learn to draw things yourself. It’s insane to expect artists to work for below a livable hourly wage just because you can’t afford it.

    I’m very much against both “AI art” and portraying real artists as the antagonists in this story, but just the other day I did see an AI generated sign in front of a barber (not even some ugly looking shit) and I just thought to myself “if I was a startup in a village of 5000 in eastern europe I would probably do much the same”.

    But even with that said I still think that’s an edgecase. If you want to make content I want you to make it. I don’t want you to relegate it to the plagarism machine. If you want to show me anything it better not be made by the plagarism machine.
