Well, first off, I hate AI.
It's inhumane and not real art.
The use of it in this project, is explicitly to gather money to fund the 2nd project of our team, which uses real art.
Second, Stable Diffusion, https://civitai.com is your bet, go there, and everyone will be a better teacher than am I, if you're going to truly use it for a future game of yours, support real artists.
And third, yep, I know, sadly AI doesn't know much the difference between Rats and Mice, so generation for it always gets fucked up, 'tho I still think of changing all the text for Mice just to be more cohesive.
I think you misunderstood something. I stand behind artists. My sister is an artist, one of my best friends is a fantastic artist and I am a writer myself. Danish writer.
AI is just a tool in my eyes. Like using a typewriter in the old days to write books instead of writing each one by hand. Or a computer to draw.
If I have to hear an AI cover song, it is because I want to hear either Freddie Mercury sing Pokemon or Eric Cartman sing Bad Romance. But that does not mean that I do not support artists like Caleb Hyles and Jonathan Young.
AI has two flaws that it can never fix. Soul and heart.
It's a tool that... in my case. Can help someone who just wants to do something as a hobby, without a team, still be able to tell a story with pictures. I could ask my friend for help. But she has her own art and it would honestly cost me a fortune, so I would have to ask for money, and I don't want money, and it would never be done at my pace.
But thank you very much for the answer.
