Those portraits look great.

As someone who admires concept art but lacks the skill to produce it myself, AI is an attractive option. That said, I worry about its impact on artists. A lot of artists- writers, actors, visual- are very concerned about their livelihood being threatened by AI (see the recent Hollywood writers' and SAG strikes).

For personal use, it's a really neat tool- one for which I can't really see any downside. For publication, on the other hand, it can be a bit tricky. Free League, for example, has legal language in its fan publication guidelines that discourages the use of AI for some materials, and requires that acceptable AI images be clearly identified as such. I included a few AI-generated images in The Poisoned Chalice (a T2k mini-adventure); I wanted to include more (especially portraits of its featured NPCs), but I felt a bit weird about it and, ultimately, decided not to.

Anyway, sorry for the pontification. Thanks for sharing your application of the tool.
