All right #content people, where do you get images for your content these days? We've experimented with #AI art. But we've found open source images with a snazzy filter (like the image for this blog: https://wagtail.org/blog/gsoc-2021-wrapup/) work just as well.
Can there be a #ResponsibleAI approach to generating art? If not, how do you source your art?

@wagtail I create images myself or get freely licensed images from Wikimedia Commons.

@wagtail I hear you can pay people called "artists" to do art for you, and it's very ethical and makes you feel good too.

@wagtail Generally art should be sourced from artists. Find someone in your community willing to donate the time to create the art, the same as the code, or pay them. Find Creative Commons or public domain sources for images @publicdomainrev or image archives provided by public institutions such as museums and other public archives. Consider why you need an image, and if not making effort on the image by using AI will have the impact you expect.
