Starsector 0.98a is out! (03/27/25)
QuoteIf you're considering using AI generated content for a mod you're making, please read this post. In brief, it's treated exactly the same as kitbashing, and so it's only allowed if one has the permission/rights to use all of the content in the training dataset.
From the forum's own guidelines. It links right back to this thread, so take care to read every comment from the moderators and Alex himself before jumping to conclusions or make (unintentional or otherwise) false claims when it makes it very clear that AI art isn't necessarily banned in its whole. As long as you can prove that you have permission to use the content of whatever dataset the AI was trained on. It will be allowed.
If you can't prove it however, you're asked to not use it. Which I think is an entirely fair take in all this, even if I am personally vehemently against anything AI.
So if you find a dataset that uses 100% public domain stuff, stuff with permission from artist, and all that, and can prove it? Then you are allowed to use it to produce generated artwork for your mods, to my understanding.
