AI art
Every time you're using the character generator in MV, you are doing image generation. You're just the brains behind it.
But the A.I is technically there, layering things and placing stuff in the right spot. Though at this stage that's basically mechanical obligation.
It's worth noting that the worst thing that can happen in A.I. art, plagiarism: is already listed as an absolute no-no in the forum rules.
Using sprites generated by FSM's tallsprite generator is fine, as long as you credit Mack. (this is why he so often appears in my game's credits.
The reason that's okay is because Mack has created and built up that generator from his own work, and has allowed the public to use it with credit. It's unfortunate that it recently was lost in the geocities breakdown.
Opting to ban A.I generated art wholesale would do more harm than good.
The more shady and scum-infested parts of the A.I. image generation scene are already under fire from the supreme court and many large bodies who they've stolen from in their reckless crusade. They will soon likely be in the same boat as A.I generated music.
Because yeah, this has happened before. Only the music industry clamped down on it, so it became a product of laws and regulations. This will likely be the fate of A.I generated art before long. This is just a phase where plucky opportunists will try their darndest to make a quick buck off of work that isn't theirs. They'll also likely end up filing for bankruptcy by years end due to the amount of lawsuits coming their way.
