Remember the "Make Art" button? Ironic, huh..? :D I´m mostly writing here to express my support for the people protesting against AI. Unlike many others I don´t share the optimistic point of view on Artstation though. I don´t think that a platform that behaves like this is reformable and I do believe that there should be…
You're mixing things up again. The AI-fying done on the drawing with the red background is of course a different thing altogether from the topic of data collection/scraping without consent for the fabrication of a latent diffusion model.

That's all things that human artists does too. Imho the real reason why AI is hated is because it is a competitor for traditional artists. And because of hurt…
I must say that I am now genuinely torn between two very conflicting states : • On one hand the combative spirit is a powerful driver, and the rollercoaster of the last few days/weeks put a lot of incredibly important things in sharp perspective : how one expresses oneself through their craft as imperfect as it may be, and…
