You know, I can almost see the utility of using AI to send mundane, repetitive work emails.
But using it for a FAN letter? From someone else? GTFO. Like, what the fuck were they thinking?? What marketer high on their own farts thought this was a good idea?
I layout a Shadow fanzine, and there has been some discussion of using some AI art filler, and we had one person submit works that I called out as AI. I have been pretty vehement that we don’t use it. This is a FANZINE for and by FANS. AI can’t possibly be a fan. I would rather have a badly drawn figure by a fan than a slick looking AI art. Thus far we have used one small element for a specific article, but it won’t be something we make a habit of.
