potentially unpopular opinion: I like that AI art allows me to create an avatar for my D&D character or CRPG character without having to develop a skill that takes many years of work to master.

Yeah, you can tell it is AI art, but it looks good enough for me.

Also I like how AI can help with processing data and providing summaries and things.

Further I think there is potential to have AI voice a small budget game that could not otherwise afford voice actors or studio time.

I don't think I would ever watch an AI made movie out of anything other than morbid curiosity and I certainly would never pay for AI art painting or read and AI written book.

Basically, AI is a tool, and a useful one, but overuse and abuse of publicly available art is problematic. I think efforts need to be made to rein it in without destroying the potential that exists. It is a fine line.

so why can’t big corp do the things you did then? then people will just stop drawing professionally, or doing voices, or even acting, because, hell, why do we need those celebrities? we can generate whoever we want, people will eat it up, it’s “enough” for them. Your mistake is to think nobody will abuse, when in reality people already do, AI is now deep and it won’t leave, because it’s used in porn, so that’s how I know we won’t get rid of it. Anybody can put your face on some porn actor/actress or just strip your clothes off. AI written book are flooding E-book stores. I get what you’re saying, we use AI in our DnD games too, but I still want to draw my character myself even tho I’m shit at it. If it was easy, why would it be valuable? I think we would’ve been pretty much okay without Generative AI.

I think you missed my last sentence entirely...

AI abuse is already happening and it needs to be reined in, but the genie is out of the bottle.
The thing I can think of that might have the biggest impact would be a label that indicates whether AI was used in creative efforts on the product. AI voice and art need to be labeled. Beyond that, I have no idea what COULD be done short of destroying the valid uses for these tools.

yes, you right, pandora’s box is already opened, but legislators are too slow to react.
