When it comes to references for art; photos, samples, tutorials etc. I say use them. We take from life. That's just always been a fact.
The argument is against using a machine that steals and regurgitates from original sources (while destroying the environment in the process) is the problem.

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...

"you will get savaged"
No. You won't. You'll find a small community of people who enjoy your first attempts at art, and that community will grow as you get better.
Be so for real. Yes, maybe one or two assholes will criticize you but most people are not so unkind.

I mean, things are tough all over. If rude criticism stops you from making art, you should probably not be making art.

Ideas are not a resource that the games industry needs generated. You cannot shoot a nerf gun into a studio and miss someone without a thousand great ideas. It's never been a problem for any of us. Just ask us.

You do not need genAI to communicate your ideas as a non-artist to an artist! A generated image doesn't actually share the key info that needs to passed on AND it discourages fruitful discussion

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Don’t let CEOs quibble over how much they’re pushing for AI. Regurgitative AI is a plagiaristic poison, to use any amount of it is to use it too much.
They want the concessions, because concessions can creep. Zero tolerance is the only way to say no to it.
