@CbinnsIllustration: Thank you very much bro and I'm missing you on this one. I know finding time can be tricky; I currently have a lot going on in life too right now. We just do the best we can. I'm forever grateful that we at least have a place like this to hone our skills and share creative energy and feedback. AI has definitely entered the forum, and it's good that we are all discussing the different view, facts, and opinions on this. I plan on taking my image in a cliche cool / warm color palette with this one; I may or may not reference from nature as I like to do as much on my own as possible, but we'll see. It's a face that the best color palettes do indeed come from nature.
The AI situation is really a catch 22 for us; on one hand we want to do what's morally right and push away from it, on the other, since it's not going anywhere, it's like we have no choice but to have to embrace it in some ways and figure out how we can best make it work in our best interest, our industry competitors will definitely be taking full advantage of the cause and are. I think using it as a Bonafide reference tool could indeed be handy, but then it's back to square one with crossing the line with what is morally correct considering the databases were trained by stolen work from artists. There isn't much opportunity to get much out of the free versions so one has no choice but have to pay into it which feels even more terrible. It's like either black or white, there really isn't really any gray area with this.
