I bet that YOU can generate a high resolution concept image of your toy idea for free, and in seconds. The use of AI art exploded in recent months, with the search term “AI art” spiking in the US this past December. The breakout AI tools have been Midjourney, Lensa, and DALL-E. Since then, there has been considerable and understandable backlash against AI art from real human artists across the globe. In this episode we explore three things, 1) how AI can help the development process of your toy or game, 2) why some artists are frustrated by the growing popularity of ai art, and 3) what legal ramifications using art generated by AI could pose.

As the golden age of AI art seems to be just on the horizon, one of my favorite quotes by Tom Waits seems to be challenged. “ Fast, Cheap, and Good… pick two. If it’s fast and cheap it won’t be good. If it’s cheap and good, it won’t be fast. If it’s fast and good, it won’t be cheap.” It seems that at least for now AI art can deliver fast, cheap, and good work. Some might argue the “good” is debatable, but out of that trifecta, I think it’s the affordability of AI art of the future that we really have to worry about. What use is a free AI generated image, if you can’t use it because it infringes on the copyright of an existing artist? Find out the answer to that question and more in this podcast episode.
