one of my favorite twitter accounts is AI Generated Touhou Girls (which is still on hiatus i think). at the time, ai generated pictures was still a silly novelty more than anything, so i was pretty excited to find a randomly generated girl i liked and get drawing. i picked this girl and this...thing to draw.
now, with ai "art" being a huge problem for artists, i find myself second guessing my previous choices. sure, touhou creator ZUN is fine with his work being used for just about any fan projects (so i feel less bad about tuhu fan character), its not the only time ive used AI pics to inspire character designs. see here:
the picture on the top is what i drew after generating the pictures on the bottom. again, ai pictures was still just a novelty at the time, but theres no denying the fact that artists still had their art scraped to build the foundation for this. so, now i feel conflicted; does it still count as taking inspiration? or am i essentially stealing designs from artists? if i had gone to artstation and spent hours looking through designs for inspiration, does that make it morally better? i dunno
