#if their service were actually good and ai wasn't here to steal our jobs they wouldn't need to be sneaky about it like they are

[alphagodith]

literally everything about ai art is shady and evil, but it's COMICALLY so when they keep going behind artists' backs to pay the sites that host their art for permission to steal it, rather than just asking artists openly to give it to them. they KNOW going about it above-board would get them nowhere because nowhere NEAR enough artists to be in any way useful would ever actually agree to let them tear their work apart and then resell it for their own profit.

and both deviantart and tumblr have taken the bribe, selling their users' content to these monsters. twitter probably too, based on its ownership.

running out of places to post... never thought i'd see the death of human-made artwork in my lifetime but here we are.
