Artists, I have a Legitimate Question:
a year ago
DISCLAIMER: I'm not looking to cause trouble or create drama with this. I have an honest question for you, and it involves <gulp> AI.
OK, everyone calm? Finished throwing tomatoes and/or other things? *Looks back* Ooh, nice splatter pattern on that one. Good job.
All right...*ahem*
When discussing a commission with a potential client, if said client was to send and AI generated image to you to help convey certain aspects of what they would like (pose, colors, etc), how would you feel about that? Would it help or hinder the process?
This came up recently with me as a friend of mine was trying to use AI to design a logo for something, but despite their best efforts it was maybe 80% of what their vision was. My thought was that if an image like that was submitted to an artist to go off of, it would save a lot of back and forth.
Again, not trying to start a fire here, just airing out a thought that's been banging around in my as-yet-caffeinated brain.

For lots of artists who have spent the years of study learning their craft, any AI is the devil and they will treat it as such. For some artists if you use AI (even as examples) you may get blacklisted and they will refuse to work with you ever.
AI has literally taken food out of creative people's mouths. Deciding to go with the cheap route by using stolen art to create a Frankenstein's monster of creative ideas instead of paying someone or taking the time to learn to do it yourself is a slap in the face to creative peoples everywhere.
Like I said, it was mostly a thought that was bugging me. I appreciate your input on this.
