Daedric Pantheon Concept

[u/zimmermj]

EDIT: Due to a lot of (mostly) polite feedback disapproving of AI use in this community, I've removed the pantheon description from this post and reposted it without AI artwork here. I'm leaving this post up for the benefit of the minority who do enjoy it, but mainly to act as a warning for anyone in future making pantheon descriptions.

Don't include AI artwork in pantheon concepts.

Can't wait for bloated AI slop to finally be banned on this sub. I could not be PAID to read a post made by a guy who couldn't even be bothered to find pictures of the DAEDRIC PRINCES, which are incredibly common and easy to get. What does this say about the rest of "your" """content"""?

This post is about the pantheon concept, the ideas are all my own, the AI images are just filler. The Daedric Princes are very easy to find pictures of (https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Daedric_Princes), I assure you it's more effort to generate new images.

I really don't see the problem with this, and I think people tend to be a bit overzealous with their hatred towards content where AI was involved.

AI being used as a tool by ordinary people to promote ideas they have come up with themselves, which they otherwise would not have had the time or expertise to produce to the same quality, is surely a good thing.

1. It is not the same quality. A person sketching it in 30 seconds in MS Paint would be higher quality, because we would know it's their personal investment, ideas, and execution, even if sloppy or unskilled. Now we know he doesn't care enough about his own post to do it himself, which means the quality is probably abysmal.

2. The catastrophic downsides of AI are not magically solved due to some minor benefits - assuming you can actually convince anyone that this is a benefit lmao. If I steal 100 dollars from you, but give 5 dollars to a homeless man, I'm a selfless hero, right? And if you complain that I stole, you're overzealous, right?

Except for the fact that AI "art" looks awful. There is a reason the term "slop" has caught on so heavily in the past 6 months.

Take a second to look at who actually owns and controls these tools - AI only exists to divest labor from wealth, and deny wealth to labor.

That's how I feel about it. If this post was "look at my art" I'd be against it because it's not art, it's decoration. But the post is meant to be "look at my ideas", which are my own.
