Getting together some Malayan flying fox refs and the amount of ai-generated faux-bat slop is incredibly annoying. Why would you generate an image of something you could just look up photos of, poisoning the pot of decent reference images?

#also ai generated images make me feel sick. like not morally- i dont like em to be clear- but like actually kind of physically unwell #which is not what i want when looking at my special little guys #it /is/ interesting to see which bat species are well known or popular enough for this to be an issue though #because pretty much no other bat species that I've seen has had this problem #even well known pretty ones such as honduran whites n stuff #I reckon its a combination of their exceptional size and general doggy-ness meaning they're especially cute or appealing to try n replicate #just my two cents though and i know my perception of which bats are more well known or popular is probably skewed #someone called some bat recs i gave out basic once which hurt my feelings but also i dont think any bat recs can be basic because like #broadly speaking most people range from vaugley liking them in passing but not being able to name any types to outright hating them #but I digress. back to drawing.#not bats
