Is there some type of organized protest going on at Artstation right now? The site is slow to load, and seems to getting bombarded with this "no to ai" image:
Artstation has reacted. They basically state that they will not permit the use of AI. Which is imho a good thing! https://help.artstation.com/hc/en-us/articles/11451085663501-Use-of-AI-Software-on-ArtStation

We have also updated the Terms of Service to reflect that it is prohibited to collect, aggregate, mine, scrape, or otherwise use any content uploaded to ArtStation for the…
Interesting... Yea, it appears to me that this might be a movement specifically targeted at removing ai generated art from Artstation? If so, then how much ai is too much when creating digital art?
