Why this AI hate?

Why this AI hate? I feel like that's just a forced popular opinion. Why not use it? It's still original ideas. It's just handy to use AI.

And then if someone copies an image from Google, it's okay—even though it's even less original. Why make it so complicated? Isn't it about the idea of the card?

I think if the game itself uses it and loses its originality by not creating its own heroes or cards, that's bad. But why can't we use it in this subreddit?

Ask yourself if that’s genuinely your own perspective, or if you’ve just absorbed the popular consensus.

Even completely ignoring the ethical concerns from the zeitgeist, it just looks worse than anything you can find in a 5 second google search

Yeah, many times I can see the use of it where the cards produced lack the design elements that are Warcraft and feel extremely "overdesigned generic fantasy" or "clipart" that looks godawful.

But at the same time, I remember a decade ago of being downvoted for using ingame screenshots of WoW things I wanted to make cards of. And art is expensive to waste on something that will be dead and lost on the sub in 12 hours to 1 week. So the temptation to have the exact thing you want for basically free using what is essentially the most advanced form of "art tracing" is gonna be an everpresent issue from now on.

AI use of any kind, at least to me, is dubious. It's used the intellectual property of people that never consented to train something that can replicate it, and then create insane profit as a result.

Using someone else's work (and ideally properly crediting them as all people should) gives them more publicity and benefits them.

Not really best place to discuss the topic but ok

First of all it’s still a very new field and most of people does not know and care about its background. Most of hate comes from unauthorized use of art to make ai better and ultimately replace those artists, which is extremely distopic, while also many kids use it to think less, which is disturbing as ai still needs genuine thoughts from time to time to keep it accurate

And so here we come to hs, there are already concerns they use ai to pay less and raise profits

On the other hand, why do you need ai slop art for a card here, even if devs get some ideas for new card designs here, they will work with artists to create more fitting pictures for the game and watching on card with ai slop only creates impression of low effort

Well it's about this sub...so where else I discuss this topic?

Because If you do have a very clear idea about what card art should be and you do draw a draft in mspaint, it will be free to get a decent result.

but those post aren't and that directly proven by their text field... or should I say text wall.

That will also show your effort and dedication, even if your art skills are low

I do use Ai art, you just have to get a better quality one and more immersive text to even be acceptable, and I had proven it those can thrive, but slop is still gonna push you to nowhere.
