I am a fan of VR games. I'd love to see my Lovecraft adaptations transposed into VR game, where you could really feel the gigantism of some of the environments, especially in the Mountains of madness.

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article for the French magazine Numerama on the subject of AI-based image generators. Since then, I had many exchanges with people and with several journalists, which gave me the opportunity to deepen this text.
@cyanworlds
There is no "good use" or "minimal acceptable use" of AI because these tools are not ethical. As long as they steal the work of artists, they should not be used at all.
