If you want to know what our Strahd party dynamics look like, this meme redraw sums it up pretty well.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Do you like the idea of smooching or being smooched by an unknowable being imprisoned inside a suit of armor?? If so you should check out our art book filled with illustrations and comics full of that 8')

So utterly disappointed in Larian/Swen to hear that they have incorporated AI into their process, but *especially* in Concept Art.

That is a role so many illustrators and artists would love to have, and could bring so much creative passion, joy, experience and expression too.

NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

‘I think this one is going to be way better’ than ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ Larian CEO Vincke says

I hope Larian understand that the backlash they about to have was cultivated by their own words

This is Poncho. He's trying to fix some mistakes on his medical record. Actually does not require any more shots, must have been a typo. 12/10 (TT: veterinariabarranquitas)
