...and some players somehow feel ai generated tokens are worse than that actual piracy of searching art sites for token images
Copying from art sites doesn't destroy the environment and doesn't flood the internet with slop and isn't used to justify firing maaaive numbers of people.
So when googling icons and using them, do you take note of the source? I've come across many where the artist specifically says not to use the image in tabletops or rpgs or icons or profile pics. You're directly disrespecting the author if you straight up use their image(s) in the tabletop against their wishes.
As for environmentally-destroying image generators, I only use local models I can run on my own pc. A microwave is 5x more environmentally impactful, and if I want generic_npc_worker_328, I take it as an artistic direction to ai generate a token of said generic_npc_worker_328...
Fair use is not disrespectful, it's not illegal, it's not worsening the climate crisis like your local models.
Gaming on a pc worsens the climate crisis more than me once in a while using a local model.
