On AI Content
I do track AI created content for this site. Please note that these pieces are temporary placeholders that resemble the intention of their replacements or used solely for entertainment purposes as a sketch where there is no intention to monetize that image.
As an artist myself, I plan to either create these pieces or seek the professional interpretation of them by living artists and even if the real image is similar to the AI sketch, I commit to doing my best to ensure that only work that has had a living creator will be sold. Characters, settings, props and the like depicted in these sketches remain the result of copyrighted work.
In short, I consider AI art to be rough drafts and fun sketches of final work meant to inspire and aid to the enjoyment of the reader and the creativity of the artists who produce final products. So, in keeping with the theme of this site I wish to embody both compassion for living artists and their valuable contributions as well as the hard work of engineers and the tools we build to assist us. Credit for that work whenever possible is given in its use.
