If I understand the situation correctly, why would you use genAI for placeholder or development art anyway? Just have the programmer draw it, literally everyone loves that stuff

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”

And

I hate to say it

But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas

Quit.

Creative solidarity means:

If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover"
If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references"
If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc.

Never help AI steal another medium

No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

I wrote a D&D module! A short thing, with plenty of bookish vibes, and even more bookish puzzles. Set in an archive about to be swallowed in to a void of magic by a powerful spellbook accidentally donated to the archive.

The unraveling of pages
This tale is the first of several introductory adventures into the series Tales of Landhurst. The first installment will focus on the nation's magical guild, as well as the librarians' guild, other scholars and knowledge seekers. Magic, scholarship and quick thinking will be crucial in this puzzle heavy dungeon crawler adventure. In this adventure, the players will need to solve puzzles, learn arcane secrets as well as find the truth of a corrupted archive, all while doing their best not to get eaten by sentient book monsters!

Oakendale academy was my first tentative step into game design. I am currently learning Godot (slowly mind you). I hope to have a full version of the game out eventually. For now can you play the demo in all its queer glory on my itch.io!
