What is the purpose of AI generated images? When it comes to LLMs I can sort of understand them as Siri was popular long before AI, but what function does AI generated images fill in a normal person's life?

    Anything you'd normally google an image for. You want a background or an icon or an image for a character. Anything a business would want to pay someone for, logos, branding etc. People who lack artistic skills and want the easy way to get an idea "on paper". And of course porn

    Pretty much everyone at the DnD tables I frequent is in love with slop for their characters. Or environments. I shudder. "No it's not too bad, look at this". Of course it's not all too awful looking, that's why AI keeps removing artists of jobs. But people using AI for quick images of their characters don't directly affect this, they don't care about this, or understand any of it. As an artist I can see the convenience for them, and if it wasn't for the upheaval AI is causing, the morals behind it and who profits, I wouldn't have a problem with people using it in this way.

    Fuck, that's depressing. In a setting as creative, authentic, and human as D&D, people are acquiescing to chatbots? Weird.

    Yeah, its sad. I see it in my friend group too. Me and 1 other person are the only ones that feel grossed out by it. I just dont understand the fascination people have but I guess we are all monke and this is the new shiny thing people think is cool.

    Remove the damage from the items you’re hawking on Craigslistzuckmarketplace until the buyer’s driven an hour and it’s too late

    See a single use case that makes sense here? (Forcing copy/paste)
