AI is terrible to use as reference.
References for anatomy, which you need even for anime crap, need to be accurate and high quality, and you need to be able to use them to understand how the body works. There's always accuracy problems, and you will end up reproducing those errors.
It's less bad to use it for stylistic reference, but even I personally wouldn't use it. They tend to be generic, and this might sound like bullshit but there's an important difference between reference and inspiration. Being inspired is having an idea, you see something and it makes you think of something ELSE. The risk with using AI is that you task the ai with creating something that you will then basically copy.
That doesn't happen when you look for real photographs or art created by real people, with those you won't find the exact image that you need, and if you did you wouldn't be able to create your own art without it just being a copy.
Furthermore, you need to spend time looking for references and inspiration and building a collection. You need to learn to always be on the lookout for reference and inspo IRL and to take a photo. If all you do is use AI, the scope of your creativity will be severely limited.

The only time I'll use AI as reference is if a client comes to me with AI stuff. I wish they wouldn't, it's better if we just talk, but they're paying me so there you go.

anime artstyle allows a fuckton of leeway in actual proportions, so it hides a lot of mistakes the AI or a shit artist makes. Don't fall in this hole and learn actual anatomy and then apply the style with meaning and care.
you can easily see, that this discount asuka has the shoulders of a linebacker (her shoulder joints are actually completely outside her torso) and a balding problem.
as for colors, yeah it usually hits the common color schemes, but that's about it (brown-ish and dark blue, how wild)

Are you sure you know what a reference means?
Op is not taking about to learn to draw, he wants to use Ai as a reference to model and texturing.
You can use Ai to do so, like every 2d drawing you have to make it work for 3d.

I don’t think you understand, each person does it differently. One will use tools while another used their hands. AI can’t copy human thought into why a female has normal clothing. Just like this example here: >>986561

Wind is going right but clothing and hair is going left, inconsistent logic. Never use AI for tracing. Also colors don’t make sense, there’s no sun so everything being red is illogical. Plants are black while character and cloud are red. The sky is blue for no reason. Another example of why you should not use AI.

Well at least real artists who drew real art and real software like Maya will not alternate the shadows. Also no human being can 90 degree their shoulders and arm. The body suit for the shoulder isn’t even bent it breaks the moment for the viewer. Oh and let me guess, you think humans can use their thumbs to hold planets. The arm isn’t even in a position, the entire thing looks way worse as you keep looking at it.

You’re not an artist, you can’t even tell the AI to stop doing bad things. Clearly your the problem and you need correction.

in all likelihood you will be a worse character modeler if you split your time between modeling and designing characters
now if you want to do both that can be awesome and you will probably get great results
but specializing into one practice wont make you less of an artist, it will most likely allow you to produce higher quality work

The NET Act amended existing copyright laws to explicitly address electronic forms of copyright infringement. It criminalized certain acts of willful copyright infringement, making it a federal offense to reproduce, distribute, or share copyrighted material, even if there is no direct financial gain, as long as the infringement involves a certain quantity or value of infringing copies. The NET Act increased the legal consequences for copyright violations in the digital realm.

This is a really swell opinion you have which will never actually hold up in court. Especially not when the media giants start using AI generation in major productions. CR law exists for their sake not for artist's.
Even in your fairy land where the law works how you imagine, if I were to use promotional artwork as a reference for a drawing or 3D model that still doesn't constitute copyright infringement. You do not know what that is.
>Yeah but muh digital theft
That's not what the AI does and that's not what I would be doing as an artist using the designs. It's like you're arguing that "inspiration" is copyright infringement.
Now lets just enter the dreamworld of the fairyland youve concocted. It's still literally impossible to prove or even know about. If I have a 3D model made by hand, off of image planes generated by AI, trained off real world artwork, then the final product has passed through so many abstractions in addition to literally not being the same thing there would be no way to know and absolutely no way to prove it.
>Uh you see your honor this person's artwork has a big ass and googoo anime eyes
It's retarded. And misses the point by about 100%.
The only real issue is whether AI can generate worthwhile references. It can, and you're a fool to not progress with the technology.

The "ai is stealing" is the most flaccid cope you could come up with. Tell me about all the movies, games, software you have pirated on your computer right now. Opine at length about how much of a fuck you really give about making sure MGM gets a nickel every time a gooner gens his waifu. All art is derivative. Your own brain is pulling references from your memories to come up with "new" ideas.
> It's not your mum it's inspired on her.
Disregarding your attempt to be emotionally manipulative, you still had to invent a different scenario than the one at hand to make your little point. If I gen some generic anthro, that's supposedly the culmination of all art in existence, and then with my own labor produce a mesh based off that design, then that thing I created at the end is not the source material. It is not like the source material. It is not a cheeky attempt to replicate the source material while saying the opposite.

OK and here's the real issue not being addressed
Major productions have 2 major hurdles.
The first is "the concept". The thing about which your thing is. The story, or the character designs. All of the mentally creative aspects. This is hard to do. Some people are fountains of good ideas, and some have 0 creative ability. Most people have otherwise limited creativity. There's a big disparity between the top ranked creatives and the first runner up. So people resort to stealing ideas. Copy designs and stories whole sale or maybe like switch arbitrary stuff around so it's different enough. AI doesn't help you do this. If I want to make 3d models of copyrighted characters (which I have) I use their official source material. They already gave me their ideas and designs when they published their stuff.

The other side of a production is a whole bunch of gruelling laborious artisanal work. Even something as simple as a comic book still requires tons and tons of material to be produced just to lay the scaffolding of a competent professional level production. I mean model sheets, test sets, test footage, story boards, props, and everything else. That's what AI can help with. It's not an automatic artist, it's an automatic art studio. Not to make the final product, but to make the auxillary work that the audience doesn't even see anyways.
