In another thread about [AI and picture generating programs](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/digital-art-creator-algorithm-website/962081) I posted this today, it may be relevant to this thread as well:

> I like to draw and paint with Clip Studio Paint, a programm that can be bought (as opposite to Adobe’s Photoshop, tat you can’t own anymore, and the trouble with Pantone and licenses you may have heard about, but I digress… as usual). Now, after many free improvements, they have reached Version 1.12.11 after about ten years, they are about to release version 2, for which I will have to pay. I’m OK with that, they are not really expensive, and program so far is powerful and well designed. Now with Version 2 they have shortly succumbed to temptation: let’s do what is possible, not what is good! And so they thought of adding what we (well, mostly you so far) are discussing in this thread: AI image generation. They anounced that on Nov. 29.  
> Today, three days later, they recanted. The user community was very put off and expressed “[anxiety and concern](https://www.clipstudio.net/en/news/202212/02_01/?utm_source=clip_ice&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=csinfo20221202)”. Getting into some detail Clip Studio Paint writes:

Someone promptly replied that this was all not a problem, with arguments I can understand, but not share. Am I being a luddite? I understand the fears of the users who have written to ClipStudioPaint, though “anxiety and concern” sound a bit too much. Still I worry.
