    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.

      @Yorick @Girdy That’s enough for me to cancel my subscription.

    but for what its worth (and gamerant failed to update their drama piece):

    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.

      DungeonDraft is a wonderful tool.

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

    Oh man, did a subscription service burn people? No way, I never could have guessed!

    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.
