@Bwee That, and I am getting so dang tired of people responding "but, is it actually theft, when artists also learn the same way th..."
Like, NO. It is theft, and only people that want to steal ask those questions :/
@Bwee So much yes.
Every time somebody shares a neat-looking bit of artwork in a public channel now I feel like I have to go over it with a magnifying glass before I can legitimately go 'yay that's beautiful!'
I don't want to be in a timeline where I have to hesitate and be mistrustful before I can find something beautiful. What the heck. Why have we done this.
AI art is free to rip off. It can't be copyrighted, so it should be pirated as much as possible.
