Gaming

By damage I mean the progress of the tech, not the economical damage generative AI model could bring. That's why I list both. When your process betray the trust of community, it just going to make it even harder to progress now that it has that tainted reputation. Artists wants recognition simple as that, yes they like the money too but it comes from recognition.

I know a lot of artist(source: I work in creative industry) likes experiment with AI arts to speed up their process, now that this becomes kinda of taboo I see less post of their experiment. It also delays the progress of meaningful workflow like using AI to patch texture flaws, generate better patterns to mix with existing one, if they really want to use it to generate character/prop textures for games, now they can't. It's not just games, it could bleed into many other area.( Film/TV/Anime/Manga's production now have to think carefully so they don't get sued. )
