The Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game franchise says it won’t allow artists to use artificial intelligence technology to draw its cast of sorcerers, druids and other characters and scenery.

    That’s fine, I don’t need their artists to illustrate anything for the characters I play or adventures I run. I do it myself with Stable Diffusion.

      Sure, that’s great. However this is in regards to material published by Hasbro. Were I an author, I would want to employ an actual illustrator or artist to work on my material that’s published to an audience.

      I believe it’s a good thing that Hasbro has taken this stand; that artists should be employed to illustrate their material.

          Which is exactly what the article said. Hasbro said artists for their D&D products will not use AI.

            You said “artists should be employed to illustrate their material” and I was pointing out that allowing AI tools to be used doesn’t interfere with that.

              Like cool story bro do you honestly think people didn’t know what you meant? Or did you just want to get a bit argumentative for attention?

                The person I was responding to said:

                That has a very clear implication that people who use AI art tools are not “actual illustrators” or “actual artists.” I think this is a position that is very much worth arguing against.

                  And I said:

                  But seems like you already answered the question.
