What's the opinion on using ai generated imagery for portfolio spec projects? Is there another way one should go about this if they lack real commercial work?

It’s no man’s land imo. As long as it looks good I would do the same thing. Make sure it’s clearly labeled as spec work. If it’s a lot of AI, maybe include a case study blurb about how you developed those results (prompt engineering 🥴) to sell that as a skill.

No. Label it as spec work.

Use it for sure. It’s a tool.
Especially in 2 cases I think it’s one of the handiest tools we ever had:

1. In the concept phase when you want to sell an idea. You can mock up and generate things you couldn’t even imagine for a long time.

2. When you are a student/junior and you have great ideas but they are not made in the real world yet.

And good idea from Video Editor to show sime process to sell it as skill!

I wish I had access to AI image generation when I was putting my spec book together. I think it’s more than fine.
