Have you ever had AI try to draw your characters/covers?

Lol, why would I? To get cheap, soulless, goofy-looking version of whatever I can draw myself?

Btw, I think this is relevant here.

Can't you say the same for the soulless, and often malformed art work that any generative site spits out? Of the three examples you've shown, 2 had obvious malformities and the only one that looked good still had to be personality edited by a human. All you can really say is that it "takes less editing." It's the same.

@cherrystark And that's aside deom the fact that you didn't answer my question. That was a yes or no question that you straight up avoided answering.

I don´t think the comparison works or is a good comparison.

AI is not a tool or a new medium, it´s a way to take something that someone else created
and not pay for it and a way for a few companys to make a lot of money and destroy even
more creative jobs.

A better comaparison is to look at the music industry. We have apple music, spotify,
a few digital distributors and they earn all the money. 99% of the jobs in music are gone.
The creator get nothing and that´s exactly what will happen with art

I actually use a.i. to remake my characters as a joke, and do it quote frequently. The only time I use it "seriously" is when I'm doing a part of a story that takes place in the depths of hell, and get it to make: someone, something and someplace evil and twisted looking (which is done all too well). I use my actual art to show how things were supposed to be normally/have a stark contrast between something evil and some type of normalcy to actual good..

Um..back to less heavy and metaphorical subjects. I mostly used it for a laugh. And copy/pastes descriptions of my OC into the thing and the results are usually intensely twisted version of them. The biggest problem is when I type in descriptions of female characters the thing SUPER over sexualized them and I had to try filtering out it's tendency to give them extreme curves and lack of clothes. For males it's them being guys in the first place: if I don't almost specifically use the word "body builder" it would ignore the word "man" in many cases and turn him into a anime girl. These many problems was just with one engine, others I checked couldn't produce anything close to what I typed and is very hellbent on adding whatever it thinks your characters should have. It's the pinnacle of "I fixed your character for you" and .....even as a joke and/or temporarily using it as a metaphor: it's EXTREMELY annoying

Art is subjective and even in human made pieces, there will always be flaws. If a piece inspires you to create, it's done its job. Aside from the zombie missing a finger and fixing the text - it's fine. It fit the requirements I asked for it. The second, if I decided to use it, I'd be breaking it down to edit it like I do with any piece.

Since my other reply wasn't clear as I thought, I don't care if someone uses an LLM. There are hundreds of different ways to use it. I do know artists who are using AI to write the scripts for their picture books. One creator I know is using it to develop child friendly content for her disabled daughter. I know hundreds of disabled people who use it because they need additional assistance. There are countless different ways it can be used. If it helps them with their process, I try not to judge.
