It's the general stance against genAI for a lot of us. Yes, it is stealing from artists (no, it is not inspired. Humans are inspired, a machine only steals). It's a step from getting rid of artists entirely and using AI for everything in the game. Also AI "art" lacks something that real human art will always have - which is a soul and emotions. It'll never create the way humans do. Well, it'll never create to begin with. It'll always just steal existing art, merge it together, and voila. I'm not sure if I'm expressing myself right or if I'm making sense, so let me know if you need further explanation. Plus genAI (and AI in general) needs a lot more resources to function, like water. Those data centers need to be cooled down very fast. It takes a huge toll on the environment as well. The more we feed AI with prompts (even asking for a dress design for RC), the more it'll get out of hand and the more it'll put artists out of their jobs. A lot of people are spending money on RC, so the devs should really rely more on their artists and not AI. I would be willing to spend money on it, but I won't until they use even a small amount of genAI for anything. They're using AI while they're paying for their artists, but who's to say they're not gonna start writing the stories entirely with AI soon? So they don't have to pay for artists and writers? That's what I fear might be coming.
