The Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game franchise says it won’t allow artists to use artificial intelligence technology to draw its cast of sorcerers, druids and other characters and scenery.

        You said “artists should be employed to illustrate their material” and I was pointing out that allowing AI tools to be used doesn’t interfere with that.

          That’s not what Hasbro wants, though, and it’s completely within their rights to have this stipulation for artwork that is tied to their brand. You sound offended by their decision, when their decision will likely result in more humans being employed and valued for their human contributions. Seems like a strange thing to have a problem with. No one is saying you can’t make your own personal D&D art with AI tools.

            Of course they can do it. I’m saying that they shouldn’t do it. I’m giving my opinion that they are making a bad decision here. It will result in poorer quality books in the long run because they are needlessly hobbling their artists.

          Like cool story bro do you honestly think people didn’t know what you meant? Or did you just want to get a bit argumentative for attention?

            The person I was responding to said:

            Were I an author, I would want to employ an actual illustrator or artist to work on my material that’s published to an audience. I believe it’s a good thing that Hasbro has taken this stand; that artists should be employed to illustrate their material.

            That has a very clear implication that people who use AI art tools are not “actual illustrators” or “actual artists.” I think this is a position that is very much worth arguing against.

              And I said:

              Like cool story bro do you honestly think people didn’t know what you meant? Or did you just want to get a bit argumentative for attention?

              But seems like you already answered the question.

                Odd what gets under some peoples’ skin. @some_guy has been following me around downvoting all of my comments everywhere I make them today. Having fun wasting all that time?
