    For home games it’s great! When an artist who’s being paid to draw original art uses it? Theft.

      How is it theft? Who are they stealing from? It’s a workflow tool, right? So then using Photoshop is also theft.

        Photoshop wasn’t assembled/trained using art created by uncredited and unpaid artists

          All artists “train” on, and are influenced by, art created by other uncredited and unpaid artists. Art isn’t created in a vacuum, nothing is.

          Maybe not, but art students have always trained themselves based on others’ work. Go to any art museum and you’ll see students sketching the works there. How is a machine training itself on existing art different from a human doing the same? Should art students sitting at those exhibits pay a fee to the museum to sketch there?
