LLMs are probably going to be around for a while, but I won’t be using them at least not for this. I’m also not using them to generate any of the images. I’m not a super accomplished artist either, but I will do my own art.

There are a few things at play here:

If I am not going pay for it I don’t get to have it. Economics 101.
Why would you out source the fun?
If I do more art, I will become better at art.
Not every map needs to be made by Dyson Logos. Not every landscape needs to look like John Avon. Not every character needs the bat-shit stylings of John Blanche (RIP) or delightful whimsey of Leesha Hannigan.
They do random stuff and its hard to make them not do random stuff and sometimes they have hard coded out the random stuff. It used to be “Stop giving them 7 fingers” and now its “I want a fae with 6 fingers” <beep boop> “Humanoids have 5 fingers”

I do use LLMS occasionally in my professional life, but mostly for code I know I’ll be heavily rewriting anyway - need a quick demo for the boss? It will sort of do it. The code is pretty good in small easy to digest chunks.
