@raempostor It's been 6 weeks since launch. We're still VERY much in the setup phase for crime.

@Blitches_ @Dexerto Then, like just happened they accept the consequences of that action.

[Brad @BeBrads90]

@Blitches_ @Dexerto Because fuck using AI when you can pay a human.

[Brad @BeBrads90]

@BigGigaPanda @Dexerto It is the creator's likeness, and likely copyrighted given they are a professional creator. it is 100% the tournaments job to ensure they're in legal compliance, if they aren't then dropping out, ESPECIALLY over an ethical standpoint about gen AI art, is entirely valid.

[Brad @BeBrads90]

@BigGigaPanda @Dexerto And? They didn't discuss it with the creator in question, the creator even suggested paying them less and giving money to an actual artist. They held to their morals on AI art usage and didn't want to associate with the event. Which is entirely their right.

[Brad @BeBrads90]

@BigGigaPanda @Dexerto It's their brand/likeness and literally their business. They get to determine how it's used and can negotiate the terms of the contract regarding the use of said likeness/brand. They're 100% within their rights to pull out of the event.

@worldofraymonds That's EMS chief Veronica Mars-Simone. Not Ray Mond.

@SneakersStreams Absolutely hope more get in, and some more EMS can come on through too!
