Here, here. I can't stand people who grandstand and virtue-signal against AI images in this context. I'm like, "Dude, it's a [b]roleplaying game[/b]!".

At this stage, my aversion to AI is less about gatekeeping creativity (save for like, people using AI to write posts and such) and moreso regarding the apparent energy consumption and environmental impact associated with it. The fact that it's being implemented into everything without consent is also a point of annoyance. 

That being said, my foremost standard for AI is staying my hand on the whole putting peoples' likeness through programs to make images; the real life-to-artwork conversion never really comes cleanly anyways; before I settled on this policy, I had put an RL image of a character face claim through an AI conversion program to make it anime/comic style, and it up and turmed a person-of-color into a white person and I'm like 'keeping that part the same should have been easy.' 🤷‍♂️
