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.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

It's #FunFactFriday! Did you know Dusky Dolphins are very closely genetically related to the Pacific White-sided dolphin, but current scientific consensus holds they are distinct species?
A better name for them may be the "Friendly" dolphin.

It's #DolphinAwarenessMonth #DYK you can find at least one species of dolphin in every salt water body on Earth as well as a few fresh water rivers systems?! Some live in cold water but the majority of species tend to frequent warmer & more tropical areas.

A digital painting of a blue emission nebula shaped like Thor's helmet

For day 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar, a digital painting of Thor's helmet nebula from 2023, an object I've re-visited a number of times throughout the years. I was really proud of my progress with this one!
