My trust in social media/art sites has been dwindling for a while now

Witnessing dA steal a whole site's worth of art to train it's image generator, informing everyone in post- Knowing that twitter and instagram are likewise training their own generators- and now seeing tumblr implement an opt-out for training data

It's very disheartening to watch the internet communities I've found home bend and twist under the force of scraping for "AI" training

There is just so much bad, but making and sharing art is still one of my favorite things to do. I will still be drawing my freaks, but I'll need time to think about what to do with my personal work...

This blog will change to be fanart only & I'll put more time into finding a comfortable workflow for glaze/nightshade

#dezchatters #it takes my computer over an hour to glaze a tiny 500x600px image so i stopped out of concern over the long term effects on my cpu/gpu #having them run at full blast for over an hour on a regular basis cant be good #especially when its like 8yrs old now #hoping webglaze works out so i can spare my toaster #and do my civic duty to online art posting #as for personal work im mostly sharing on a friend to friend basis these days #my art make speed is slow as always but if you want a trickle of tive doodles n oc art in ur inbox I'm open to try connecting on discord #lastly- stay strong friends #the world may be cold and harsh but hope is a skill we train #there will be better times #we do what we can when we can
