I was in management i probably also wouldn’t like my designers to use AI. I pay them good money to draw original pieces and everyone can tell and it looks generic when AI is used. I’d want my moneys worth

Not to mention that it could be a legal minefield if your designer uses AI.

Some providers offer indemnification: https://openai.com/policies/services-agreement/#:~:text=13.%...

The other problem is that AI-generated material does itself not enjoy copyright protection.

Well, you can definitely make AI art much less obvious with the right tweaking (directly running models, blending different sub-models, etc). The bigger issues from a professional perspective are liability concerns and then, even if you have guaranteed licensed sources, the impossibility of controlling fine details. For a company like GW it's kind of pointless if it can't reflect all the decades worth of odds and ends they've built both the game and the surrounding franchise around.

> everyone can tell and it looks generic when AI is used

For now. I feel like the gap continues to close with each release, and it's only a matter of time before it becomes indistinguishable.

For generation of 2D images, it seems, if anything, to be getting worse/more-obviously-AI.

[blks]

I don’t know what you’re looking at, perhaps things like deepfakes are getting, but most of the graphic design done with AI that I see around looks like shit.

[nomel]

alternatively, you can use AI as a starting point. All design is iterative.

[kryptiskt]

But why? It's not all that much harder to do original work than redrawing the output of an AI.

[hollowturtle]

Sure and limit yourself at the starting point, people underestimate how much limiting these tools are, they're trained a on a fixed set can only reproduce noise from here and there

[layer8]

And then you decide that the “starting point” is good enough because the deadline is looming.

[ToucanLoucan]

Has it occurred to you if this tooling was good, you wouldn't need to encourage creatives so hard to use it?

[Hamuko]

If that Disney Star Wars creature AIslop video was any indication, that starting point is pretty fucking bad.

Starting from something basically done might have the same effect as spec music has done for movies.
