#regretting posting adopts there because now dA recommends me AI Adopt accounts and it's just Ugh

[godbirdart]

man,, deviantart really did turn into a site of just. AI trash.

half my follow recommendations are AI adopt accounts or people churning out other bot-generated garbage under the guise of “original art”. i hate having to go in and do a pseudo background check for skill development/history and account age for every artist whose work piques my interest. i hate having to guess if the person’s a scam artist or if they just happened to start posting to deviantart because of some other thing like a site collapsing.
