Last year I said that even companies those that โvaluedโ artists, including WOTC, would embrace AI - because $$$ trumps everything. Lots of people told me I was wrong.
I wanted to be wrong.
I was not wrong.
oh cool WotC is using AI "art" now. (re: "artists" who are using AI)
i guess it's unsurprising given their sense of ethics.
Look at that goddamn foot.

The first question we should ask is did they knew that AI was used? Not that I am particularly fond of Wizards after certain license even, but I have seen plenty of people duped like this.

To their credit (?) the artist has been very open about the fact that they use AI in their workflow.

Man, I remember the days before AI art where I would fuss and panic over whether people would notice if I got things wrong likeโฆproportions. Poses. A general sense of unity.
Ever since AI I guess I have to deal with the fact that people either just donโt notice or donโt care ๐

Thatโs the uncomfortable truth. 90% wonโt notice. 9% wonโt care. And the 1% is us. ๐ตโ๐ซ

At the top (Hasbro) level, I agree, but there are plenty of art-directors and others at a senior level who really *do* care about the artists. I think itโs important to make that distinction.

This is the first time in history of mankind that someone has counted WotC as a company that values or even "values" artists.

Hasbro owns WotC. Also from my knowledge people who play Dungeons and Dragons are prolific Midjourney users for their characters. :( It completely sucks.

We all knew this was gonna happen, we just hoped that people would do the right thing but in the end I guess money does trump everything.

Anyone who said that WoTC values anything other than lining their pockets obviously hasn't ever dealt with WoTC.

I mean, WotC also sic'd the frakking Pinkertons on a guy. and tried to play "I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it any further."
I'm completely unsurprised.
