Please..

Stop sharing and promoting AI art.

Just got a boost from a guy that has a shop selling over a thousand "art" pieces he claims are his.

In all kinda styles. No artist can make all this themselves...

This is NOT ok.

Real art went into making what is used to generate these images. Copyrighted images.

Respect artists! Spend one minute to validate that you do not share AI!

@lettosprey Theft is despiceable, no matter if the stolen artwork is AI or human-made.
I assume it's acceptable to download AI art for personal and non-profit use, but earning money by it should be punished by law. And I agree this makes life difficult - if not impossible - for artists who really draw and paint (instead of generating images).

@deadknight Using AI art even for personal / non profit usage, as it replaces art that you would have had to pay for.

Artists are struggling to get by, and AI art is making life more and more difficult for a lot of artists. People now get their "Personal non profit" art for "free" using AI based on art stolen from artists.

There is not a single ok use of AI engines that train on copyrighted material. NO acceptable usage of sites like midjourney exist, as they step on artists rights to offer what they do. It does not really matter what you use it for, how profitless it may be. It is NEVER ok.
