Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Hereโ€™s a blurb on what I mean:

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isnโ€™t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life.

Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever โ€œpolishedโ€ slop theyโ€™re trying to force feed us.

Hey, that creative thing you want to do, but youโ€™re scared you might do it badly?

Doing it badly is better than leaving the world without your creation.

Go make the thing!
