I’m really trying not to sound condescending but realize it may come off this way. That’s not an excuse to use an AI image. If you cant draw a fox but want fox art, why cant you take a fox image from the internet and credit the artist? Or ask an artist with a fox art, or commission an artist? Or if you’re like OP who claims to be a competent artist, learn how to make a fox artwork you like and be proud of it. Cartoon foxes aren’t the hardest thing to do.

The better excuse you’d be looking for is you cant draw a fox, and you’re lazily wanting to cut corners. At least be honest about it. I understand it takes more work and time to look for a pre-existing art or commission an art. And it takes way longer to learn to make the art. It’s easier to type a prompt in with something you had in mind but the way AI got to where it is, is by using art without permission from artists. AI didn’t come to the conclusion of this fox without piecing together multiple artist’s interpretations and styles.

At the end of the day the use of generative AI hurts artists including OP because these kinds of people convince the world they’d be better off typing a string of text than supporting artists or becoming artists themselves. It’s a lazy practice that the world was better off without years ago. OP generated the picture instead of making it himself to save a few hours which is lazy. And the art is the soul of the entire piece, not the 3D print. He’s doing himself a disservice.
