ASK: I respect the hell out of Shizzy not wanting his work copied (especially since he puts actual WORK into it). Unfortunately, I just don't know how you're going to be able to police that.

kenshiku: @ASK: Not exactly how it works. If you have one bit of respect for the artist, you wouldn't use it for AI. Problem is, most users using any sort of AI just don't give a crap about it, which is a shame.

ASK: @kenshiku: Oh, you want to talk about not giving a crap. How about the latest trend where these so-called "artists" (they're all AI users, I fuckin' swear) are trolling sites like fanfiction.net, begging writers to hire them for art commissions? It's tantamount to cyber-panhandling.

FootmanJeff: Porn sites went downhill when all the artists went the route of patreon and all those types of sites. Whatever happened to free requests?

noxo: @FootmanJeff: People wanted to make money off their work. Shocking, I know.

Pussy69: Everything is or can be pay-walled. From porn to mod files thats just how ppl want to make easy money without the need of work labor.
AI is fucking everything up even for legit artists b/c it puts them out of work from doing what they love. Its faster to generate AI content than a drawer spending days on 1 picture.
I do like AI content in certain places typically anime characters, but its the last thing I'll ever spend money on.
