yeah but is it really worth it to learn how to draw and color etc only for the purposes of a D&D portrait? maybe for some, and obv my players get the choice to do whatever, but with day jobs and lives, getting together to play itself is a commitment so I don't see the issue in creating a one-time portrait just for the purposes of quick execution
I'm also a musician and artist and I rant about AI art and its effects all the time so yeah I get it
that's the thing, if you do it yourself in crayon it's better than whatever the AI does. again, i don't really care at my table what the other players do, but human > AI all day every day. Honestly, i see the LLM bullshit as a crutch that gets folk who can't or don't have the time to be able to approximate what those of us who have invested the time and blood and sweat into getting the skills. i don't really mind crutches as long as you have a person thinking things through in there, but if you're using crutches exclusively, right?
