Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on copyrighted material without the original artists’ permission. And that’s without getting into AI’s negative drag on the environment.

    The images.

    Not terrible, usable as rough concept art but not nearly good enough to be reference. While the general likeness has consistency there’s inconsistencies in the eybrows and ears and don’t get me started on the costumes they’re all plain different.

    The main issue I have here, knowing that it’s AI, is whether he’s holding his blade by the, well, blade because he’s just that kind of vampire or because the AI messed up and the human didn’t notice.
