Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'
"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.
Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

Please keep creating, that is our only hope and defense against the tyranny we and those oppressed, face in society right now. I am also feeling this exact same way. Really depressed 😔 and hopeless. But I feel Art has always been the spear that pierces the immoral in this world.

“Didn’t these AI chuds think about use permission???” I think they did. I think they were like:
4 panel comic

Panel 1: Pink guy sits at desk, working on laptop. Blue guy stands next to him. 
Blue guy says “Do we need to ask the artist’s permission for this?”

Panel 2: Pink guy smugly says “Bro trust me. When people see the AMAZING ART this tech can create, nobody will care about the “artist’s permission”

Intermission panel saying “Billions of dollars later…”

Panel 3: Pink Guy is smiling smugly and says “check this shit out” He is holding up the worst image you have ever seen in your life. 

Panel 4: Blue Guy: We are so fucked
