[P] The vamp picture: Wait, the guy on the left—his elbow is backwards! Typical AI flub. I'm surprised no one caught that though?? Also, there's a weird spotlight on him (contextual lighting issues). Got some weird hands on the flower people, there, and is that oddly angular branch in the background meant to be her arm? Heh, that rakshasa has his thumbs the wrong way around. Okay, done looking at this! It's really depressing.

[P] If "art" is having as much issue with context as these are, with this level of fidelity? It's 100 per cent AI. I haven't seen a single example yet where I'm convinced a human made it. So, I guess this is how WOTC is raking in the money now. I'm not the only one to notice that the rendered dragons don't properly match their profile refs at all. They just look painted over a bit to be "close enough." Bleh. Well, at least PF isn't using AI art (for now).

[P] Also on the chimera pic: The context of that lighting is very confused, especially since there's a lightning bolt. And HOW are those wings connecting, exactly? The unicorn picture gets confused about the legs of the horss in the background, because AI sucks at context and... Guh. It's juat really shamelessly AI. The vampire picture has two characters staring off into the middle distance, not looking at anything or each other as that takes CONTEXT!

[P] Another tell for AI is contextless connections, like using shadow or an object crossing the image's path to avoid the eldritch horror of the algorithm trying to figure out how bits connect. You can't see how any of the chimera's heads connect to the body, and they're supposed to have a snake tail instead of a third serpentine draconic head. It's just so obvious. It's also easy to avoid, keep an artist on staff and have them eyeball this stuff.

[P] Good grief. The chimera is shamelessly AI. I'm definitely not a fan of this. I know it isn't even always corporate's fault either (though it mostly is) as some unscrupulous artists will turn over AI gen'd stuff as original art. That happened to DC with a Superman cover. I'm becoming quickly suspicious aswell of weak-context pictures (no background, or the character has little contextual connection to it). No, I'm not a fan of this, WOTC.

[P] And before anyone bleats "Biased Pathfinder fan spotted!"? Two things: a.) Just don't, I'm really quite sick of hiverarchy nonsense; and b.) I don't play combat-oriented games so I have no horse in that race. I just tend to nose at the new books because I like art. And D&D's new art is... mmh, pretty terrible. The blue dragon looks like a "dragon with condor bird features" prompt. There's just no passion or creativity present.
