is it really a family reunion if you dont end up crying by yourself at some point? having the time of my life here

dont understand why ai art is so bad/harmful? ok, lemme break it down for you!

humans need to work if they want to survive. money is an essential no matter how idealistic you are. now, some humans have skills they have spent years—usually their entire lives—perfecting. skills that have a very narrow field of application if you are trying to make money. skills that are constantly belittled as a “hobby” and constantly taken advantage of and insulted by the very people who attempt to employ them. despite the exploitation and disrespect, some of us humans rely on those skills to find work in that narrow, competitive field. we rely on them to be able to work, and make money and survive.

now that field is being mowed down by algorithms trained by work stolen from those very humans who spent years perfecting their craft. ai imaging has destroyed any hope of having a stable career as an artist. the industry IS in shambles. there have been mass layoffs, replacements, lawsuits, entire art departments dissolved in favor of some guy with access to a computer.

artistic vision and intention replaced by soulless algorithms, brushstrokes replaced by strange blurred smudges and extra fingers. you see it in ads, in marketing, in graphic design, in youtube thumbnails and banners. every corporate use of ai imaging is money taken right out of an artist’s hands. and its not just corporate. social media has been flooded with ai. facebook, instagram, pinterest, you NAME it. even art-specific sites like deviantart, redbubble, shutterstock, even ETSY are being taken over. some of these sites even ENABLE it, partnering with these tech leeches, offering up the art of their users on a silver platter to be stolen and fed into a machine. not even tumblr is safe anymore. and EVERY ai image generator is trained on stolen artwork. period. these artists are not being paid to supply the art for those programs to train on, which means any generated images are STOLEN. if they are then used for profit it is STOLEN PROFIT. ai imaging is unethical to its very core and anyone who says differently is naive, ignorant, delusional or a fucking liar.

Your art is so lovely!!!! I hope it's alright to ask, but, do you take oc x canon ships for requests, if they are open? Sorry to bother you if they aren't or if you're uncomfortable with oc x canon stuff ^^'

aw thank you!! i’m not necessarily against it? i like having references and just dont have much experience with drawing peoples ocs so i’m more worried about not doing the oc justice yk?
