I don't think AI is a bad thing in general, but to get these highly detailed and eye appealing pictures they need to feed it with real artworks from real artists. Without their permission or any compensation for sure.

Seeing art platforms only react with these ridiculous "just tag it if you don't want your art being stolen" while they have newly created accounts daily who sell their ai "work" and even have the audacity to write in the description the "do not repost or use without my permission" lines, I just can't…… like wtf

I grew up on Deviantart, started my career here. This site was my internet home for so long but I think it's time to leave.

Maybe I'll return some day with a new name (wanted to change my username for a while, but I have to think about these yet)

You still can find me on insta (gonna change my username here, too in the future)
