     @Eiregoat @theTDC @sun It's so disappointing for you to chime in with a simple platitude in response to a post about the intricacies of AI tooling just because you don't like it. You never do this for topics where you're invested, like economics.
     You can do some very interesting things with AI and there is a Blender artist that, while not using AI, has a really interesting "not perfect, but close enough" style that enables him to make very beautiful things really fast. AI would really complement this style of working:

     The tech is very interesting, just not suited to braindead-Indian level interfacing. Not if you want anything good, that is.

     Huh? I do like it.
     
     My point is that the only artists really threatened by AI are the lowest quality ones.
     
     I think it's a highly useful tool and I use it all the time. I look forward to seeing how it develops.

     AI Art basically replaces shitty stock photos and bad devient-art scribblers, that's about it.
     
     It will get better over time but the result will never be less art or less jobs for artists.

     @theTDC This was an interesting read. It really solidified my opinion that Art AI is going to become and stay an artist tool instead of something for non-artists for a very long time.
     
     If you ran locally (free, use InvokeAI) instead of using cloud services, you could try these LoRas:
     https://civitai.com/models/23328/dandd-top-down-token
     https://civitai.com/models/682177/rpg-maps
     https://civitai.com/models/30848/proof-of-concept-top-down-tokens-for-dnd
     https://civitai.com/models/22836/top-down-tokens
     
     https://civitai.com/search/models?sortBy=models_v9&query=spritesheet
     
     There might be more with other tags and you could also use the "image2image mode" where it traces over an image to make a different one. You can also give it a reference image to help guide the style, and a bunch of different, more involved things. But you'll have to learn the tool then. I try to keep up with it because I think someday an image AI suite on the desktop that is what Blender is for 3D will emerge and the hobbyist ought to learn it.
     
     There's also (online) software where you position a model and the camera in 3D space and feed that to the AI as a baseline
     
     @sun is doing these side sprites and he said he might commission an artist to animate them

     Right?
     
     Also concept art, low effort projects, textures and other small crap no one's going to notice.

     @Eiregoat @WandererUber @theTDC @sun it replaced deviantart, which is why twitter artfags are upset and threatened in their existence
