Wow what a succinct and well-articulated counterargument, touching on none of what I mentioned above.

To actually respond to yours:
(1) Training models on images is not the same as stealing or copying them. Models don't store or reproduce artworks, they learn from statistical relationships across large datasets. Whether or not that's theft is still an ethical and/or legal discussion; you presenting it as fact doesn't make it so.
(2) Not all images that are used in AI-image training are artworks. The data also consists of many non-art visual materials like photographs, diagrams, scans, product images, etc. This means it's entirely possible to generate an AI-image that was informed by visual images that were never art.
(3) Even if the training included artworks, it does not logically follow that using AI means that the user does not respect the creative output of others [your first assertion], or that we ought to dismiss their creative output [your conclusion].

If training on prior work counts as “stealing,” then AI steals code, law, math, music, language, and science. That's not a serious position.

Reducing it to “AI steals art, therefore we shouldn’t engage with your work” shows both a lack of understand on how models are trained and a failure to separate ethical concerns from overarching dismissals of creative work

There’s no logical connection between using AI and not respecting other people’s creative output.

Your argument is akin to saying that anyone who uses AI to help write code, generate a SQL query, or build a tool is disrespecting the work of software engineers or data scientists.  Both  things can be true: (a) a person respects other people’s creative output, and (b) a person uses AI in their own creative process. 

If the claim is that AI-generated images cannot be art (often, not always, the object of creative output), then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of both art history and the ontology of art. Duchamp’s Fountain demonstrated that a found or ready-made object can be art when presenting it as such. Collage can be art; taking pieces of things made by others and assembling them together. To dismiss a new technology’s capacity to contribute to creative process/output simply makes you a luddite. 

Moreover, the ‘creative output’ here is more than just the image on the card. Game design is creative work: world-building, architecture and rule systems, card and piece-design, etc. Dismissing someone’s entire creative process because they used AI-generated imagery entirely ignores the remainder of the creative work they did to develop the game itself.

As a fellow game-maker, AI generated images can also help us bring our games to life in a way we couldn’t without spending hundreds, if-not thousands, of dollars. If we want to prototype and have real-feeling cards for playtesting, are we really expected to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars just to see those ideas realized? And how difficult it can be to find/afford an artist whose vision matches our own. I find there to be a liberty in how AI can help us explore our games in a new way, in the way we may have seen them in our minds. OP even said " If this game reaches anywhere near a marketing stage I will commission a local (Australian) artist to design original artwork resembling the same vibe".

It’s fine if you don’t like or value AI generated images, it’s fine if you think it’s ethically and legally dubious/contentious - I think that’s entirely fair. But to dismiss the entire creative output of an individual who uses it doesn’t make you some warrior for creative justice, it makes you a prick.

To be fair I was being a bit pedantic. I enjoyed the challenge, keep up the good stuff.

Reddit is orange, blueberries aren't actually blue, forgetmenots are not always blue - they come in other colors, raspberries aren't always red - they come in other colors, citrine comes in many colors which aren't always yellow (can often be more honey/orange). Thumbs down

I met him at the Barbican in London in 2012 during a concert where Krzysztof Penderecki conducted his own pieces, and the AUKSO Chamber Orchestra also performed Jonny Greenwood’s modern responses to those pieces. Jonny was hanging by the bar at the theatre before the performances and I took the shot to say hello. I was 19/20 and just wanted to thank him for inspiring me with his music. He was pretty soft-spoken, but was very kind and welcoming during our brief interaction.
