Musings: The Hoard Blog

I deplore many of the uses AI is being put to in the modern world, and fear many of its applications and implications. I don't take using AI lightly.

I use art drawings generated on openart.ai to illustrate my blog because that is a best use for AI in my opinion: it doesn't take any work away from a real artist (I wouldn't hire an artist to illustrate something that is purely for my own shits and giggles - I do not promote or monetize my website) and it saves me from pirating art from elsewhere to illustrate my posts. 

I am not able to execute my visions otherwise (drawing is so not my thing) - and it has been a hell of a lot of fun seeing those visions get turned from a prompt into an illustration. But always I clearly attribute when AI has been used in the creation. 

The photography throughout my website is my own. But the dragon drawings and illustrative art are courtesy of openart.ai.
