    TL;DR (from a quick read through) :

    The app is inkarnate, the CEO announced they’re planning on allowing creators to put AI Generated content on their marketplace, with AI labels.

    This plus price hikes means a bunch of people are cancelling their subscription.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/inkarnate/comments/1nuip8m/inkarnate_marketplace_policy_no_generative_ai_art/

    they back peddled.

    Dungeondraft is the way to go IMO: buy once, no sub, tons of extra assets available. There’s also Wondedraft if you’re doing world maps.

            It’s been a while since I installed is, bit I think the only thing I had to do was make a shell script executable, which I think it says to do in the readme? Could be misremembering though.

    It looks like Inkarnate decided to allow AI “art” in the marketplace.

    Theres another one called Dungeon Alchemist which claims to use AI, but the AI in question is actually just a very complex if=>then=>else statement (think npc ai). I have no idea why they are calling their scripts AI.

      Before all this LLM nonsense that was AI and it still is. I guess they are just being overly transparent.

      Either they’re seeing how popular AI is becoming and they’re calling it that to get some of that popularity, or they’re using the term AI in a different way than it’s currently used (so for example referring to regular NPC behavior as NPC AI).
