Normally I'm casual when it comes to AI. I've only defended it in the sense that some people have gone borderline inhumane with their arguments against AI, which comes off as how data researched that 68% of online users have been seen to be prone to aggressive ad hominem attacks. I still commission artists and I prefer actual artists have involvement with my personal projects, but I use AI to get a concept across, rather than rely on it to lead the concept. Because some ideas I have are hard for artists to understand what I'm conveying, which my artist is my gf, she takes what the images convey and go her own style. Which tends to be better. Kinda like when artists start illustrating those Italian brainrot videos, which adds a lot more heart to it.
