    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

AI-generated Art and Copyright

I found it fully impossible to make the free AI generators give me a picture of a guy swinging a guitar like a bat. If anyone knows how to prompt for that please share.
 
Wow. Now I am really tempted to use AI as an inspiration for fantasy paintings. But I still have great misgivings. Is it cheating? Is it creative? Even if I put my own spin on it, I might always feel a little guilty if it's not 100% my own.
But then, I often use some sort of reference, so is this much different? I have some soul-searching to do. I feel that once I start down that path, forever will it dominate my destiny.

I would think there would be several references of Pete Townshend doing his thing available.

Same. I GM a Tales From the Loop group and one of the groups members DMs Dungeons&Dragons. We use AI all the time for both illustrations of our player characters, people we meet, and to illustrate/commemorate situations that arise. Adds so much atmosphere.

I don't think it is wrong as long as you aren't copying them, to use them to create reference images and composition ideas is a good use. As you you know often an artist will look all over for reference works and the like.

And this is an area I think those that are complaining about it killing artists’ ability to make money often overlook. In the past a rich person could employ someone to create artwork that they would use in a game based on the prompt they would give to the artist. And the rest of us would be left without any artwork. The generative AIs are giving more people the ability to commission artwork who would never have had the chance to, it is extending the market.
 
Yeah, you have to ask for a fantasy elf or you get the kind that dissapoints santa by wanting to be a dentist. Similarly you have to ask for a fantasy gnome or you get the kind people put in the garden.
