Art community, do you know if website image previews like the Pixiv's can still be processed by Grok or AI directly? And if all the issue with X claiming copyright over it still applies? #Artㅤㅤㅤㅤ#Illustration#ArtCommunity#NoAI

The run for fast and profitable content will not end there. If this kind of usage is normalized through the big and small companies, this speed will become default and they will look for other ways of making it faster to compete.
Besides all the factors of environmental impact, supporting the use and development of tools that are used in unethical ways, etc
Even if the (gen)AI is only doing "basic search", the question nobody is asking, WHY does it need to be faster? Why this step needs to be skipped?
Concept Artist here, the "AI hate" directed at Larian Studio is 100% ignorant and bad faith virtue-signaling.
Artists are NOT against AI usage as a tool, we're against Generative AI that was trained on real artworks and mass-produced "slops" that imitated our hard work and then marketed as our replacement.
In pre-production, the art team would grab random pics off the internet and other games to create a general mood board for aesthetics and "vibe" that fit the art direction (There are more nuances than this, I'm describing this in the most simplified way possible)
A mood board of a character may include several pictures of other videogames or anime shows, dozens of object with "texture references" for parts of their attire, multiple reference pictures of relevant objects such as animals or historical weapons or even other character artwork made for other games; ALL of which are randomly drawn from the internet and put together for the purpose of creating an overall aesthetic for a design that will become original in its own way inspired by its references and the artist's own creativity and originality to visualize it when they create the design by doing ART.
Larian Studio mentioned using AI to streamline this process; an actively menial labor of "looking for relavant and cool pics on the internet" in essence.
There is zero reason why AI speeding up this process is a bad thing; it is essentially the same as someone asking Grok for facts they could have spent a few hours reading through Wikipedia pages.
None of the pictures grabbed by either the AI or the art team in this process are being exploited for any monetary gain since they're simply inspiration and visual direction, this has been standard practice in the industry for decades.
I want to believe it is not lazy thinking on the artists' side of just being 'easier' despite the consequences. So why are some artists supporting companies that pressure them into making fast content when it kills slowly the whole creative process?
