I've recently been interested in visual writing prompts, seems they're getting popular in here.

The issue is that they're often generated using Midjourney, one of those pesky AI engines that were created by sucking art from unaware or unconsenting artists.

Everytime you use AI Art, no matter how pure your purpose is, you're normalizing the privatization of art that people like you or me did, to crunch it and resell it on behalf of megacorporations.

For that reason I'm muting these posts from now on. Every time I want to participate, I think of all artists who are now unemployed because "using an AI is cheaper". I cannot in good conscience endorse the usage of any tool that was created using automated plagiarism.
