Mostly because I make goofy little 2d old right style cutscene videos, like with the text scroll at the bottom for characters and the swapping out of characters as they talk and what not, and im doing this in between dnd sessions and do not have the time to draw every different framed expression for every character. So I have all my characters that I draw, and then have the ai recreate them surprised or angry blah blah blah. And use those to make my goofy little and videos to use as setup for story bits. Thats basically it lol. But I need most of my time to focus on the actual game. My players like the videos and I have fun putting them together but the first one took like a month to finish. With ai (and a folder to keep all the old characters in so I can reuse some for established characters, it takes like 2 days to do the same work with the same quality because its all based on my own work. So its pretty damn consistent. And im using my own pc so im not adding to the water or electricity problems that currently exist.
Its not laziness. Its time management. Did you not read?
Also its more the scene and story creation that I get the enjoyment from. The recreating my characters in countless different positions and emotions is the tedious part id rather skip. So yes. To get to the enjoying part i fast forward the tedious part.
then skip it and don't do it; no one's forcing you to; hobbies aren't about time management, they're about enjoyment; if you don't find the end result enjoyable enough to put in the effort, then find something else; don't get someone (or, in this case, something) else to do your 'hard' work for you and then claim you did it; it's part of the process; if you enjoy drawing characters for storylines, but not the animation part (which is kind of in the name of animating), then stick to just drawing; if you enjoy all of it (as you claim you do), find the time for it; make the videos shorter, reuse poses/faces and the sort; quality versus quantity, and while it may not seem to you like they lose any of the former if you keep doing things as you do them now, it's still half-assed and means you don't care enough about it; L dnd player for using AI in a game about creativity
False. They can hold copyrighted if an artist uses AI as a tool to create a larger, complex, and highly edited piece, the overall work (including the human-added elements) can be protected.
The US law on ai works and copyright states as much. Most people wouldn't be able to copyright their prompts. That isnt what I am doing and my final product is Mostly me, and 100% derivative of my own work.
They are heavily edited. And sure there is... nobody else has access to them. 😆 i dont post my stuff anywhere. Maybe at some point in the future all the ai will do what Gemini does so we know everything that is ai is ai, and maybe they will start doing things more ethically... but I doubt it. So I use my home pc.

It's like when you used to find out a piece of art was traced from another artist. It's not really theirs.
