Sorry for having to do this to my followers expecting Disney style art, and I never expected myself to do this either, but I share the same sentiments about AI as everyone else on the subject matter and wanted to share my own two cents.

At its core, Artificially generated images have no place next to traditional and digital artists. At best, it's a fucking party favor with no real hard work ethic to merit. I've been calling it a wood chipper lately because of how exactly they generate images. You feed the machine the image from a source and it chops it up before it vomits out something close to your prompt.

Selling Artificially generated Images is even worse, as it is a scam. Because you're selling art theft. Let that sink in. You're selling photoshopped (minus the photoshop) images that were taken from a source without consent. Now maybe some sources consented, but many others have had their livelihood taken from them. Instagram is horrible for having done exactly that. But back to the subject at hand, selling stolen art is never okay. That's like having bought a commission from an artist only to later learn they traced another artist for your bought art.

Because of this AI craze spreading throughout the internet, it's getting harder and harder to find places of refuge that don't allow or use AI.

AI can still be played with, don't get me wrong. I'm guilty of fucking around with AI and generating images, but I've taken the results and tried replicating them, putting the human touch on them. This is why I say generators are party favors. They can be fun to waste time, or generate a specific reference, but the results should and must never be reposted and claimed originul the art donut steel.
