“Jim Wampler, author of Mutant Crawl Classics, Scientific Barbarian, and more, as well as a well-known artist, has designed and made free for use a “This product is free of AI” badge. It’s free to use by everyone, and is a nice-looking design. I’ve noticed an uptick in AI-generated art and text in the past six or so months, and I think it’s a great thing for the indie and small press community to have this. Let’s see what’s new in the gaming front!”

Please don’t flame me for asking this - I genuinely haven’t really thought about this before and am curious to hear opinions.
For folks who would put this on their product / use this in a purchasing decision, are they doing it because they have a philosophical view against AI in RPG products? Or is it more of a “No Preservatives” label that folks see as an indication of high quality?
I thought it was a no preservatives thing. The idea was to certify that you aren’t trying to sneak ai art and pass it off as normal human art.
At least that was my take away.
I think it’s more like “this product contains art that someone laughed, cried and swore over”.
