Short Story: Children's Book: Panda and the Dragon

[milo]

For one thing, ai art won't be monetized, by the pigpens standards AI poetry is considered plagiarism.  Artists believe ai art steals their art styles in order to 'create'.  I could use his prompts and draw new pictures, scan them into a computer and email them, obviously he likes what the ai did so I could use those as references. 

My cognitive dissonance here is watching respectful artists use ai as if it isn't some form of cheating.

Oh, it is definitely some sort of cheating. My daughter, who is also an artist, was pretty disgusted with when I showed her. We had a decent argument about it last night. In many ways the cognitive dissonance is the point because this stuff is here and I am not going to put my hands over my eyes and pretend it’s not.
