All credit goes to Midjourney (AI) and, really, the hundreds of thousands of artists it trained on. :) That artwork, nor the vast majority of the new CCG website content, is mine -- vibe coding is a slippery slope -- I'm just giving general direction, reviewing the output, and ensuring it aligns w/ what this community has been doing over the past 11 years. This is an experiment, and if we decide to go with the outcome, we might consider ways in which we can donate to the arts in order to keep our personal morals and industry ethics intact. There's an argument for fair use in the text content generated for the CCG website... the same probably doesn't hold for the mascot. ... and that's not an invitation to have a debate about the morality and ethics about vibe coding and the generation of art; this mailing list isn't the venue for that -- just trying to not take credit for other people's work, whoever they might be. :) -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. https://www.digitalbazaar.com/
