Adding to this, the idea that concept art is some sort of tedium you can cut corners on is genuinely insulting. Concept art is the bedrock to a setting's entire visual identity, and cutting corners on it is akin to shooting yourself in the foot to win a race.
"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?"
Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie.
It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such.
It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.

Dawn of a new week folks. Time to make calls to your reps. If you need a reminder:
-tell them to vote against stuff like KOSA, SCREEN, stop CSAM, and app store accountability act.
-tell them to protect section 230, and why it's a bad idea to repeal or amend it.

No vote today and there's still a lot of disagreement on these bills, but I wouldn't be complacent.
Republicans say they're looking to "shoehorn" in KOSA, SCREEN or other restrictions into the must-pass defense bill coming up later this month.
Make noise. There's poison in the sausage.

![Nathan Leamer, a former GOP staffer at the Federal Communications Commission and executive director of Build American AI, a new pro-industry group, told POLITICO last week that Republican lawmakers are negotiating several potential online protections for kids as part of the AI preemption package they hope to shoehorn into a year-end defense bill.
“Is it KOSA or [the] SCREEN Act, or age verification, app-store verification? I think all of those are on the table,” said Leamer. “But I don’t know what the final package is going to be.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xkyhsucgalfnrkpwwkxs5zbl/bafkreid57fiaf4qua4ytfbg6xn3pw5pkw2trg2gv7r7xxrql3onamqeufe@jpeg)
