Note to anyone who buys art from an artist: DO NOT EVER RUN THE ART THROUGH AN AI-PROGRAM! It will change details and destroy the art AND feeds that art into the program to be stolen over and over again!

To do this is to allow the theft of the artist's work.

Sincerely: Artist whose map just got absolutely ruined by AI "filter" and is shared in instagram with all the million mistakes that makes my skills look absolute shit. Plus the theft thing.

I am so so sad.

@hiisikoloart That is dreadfully sad. Bastards!

@Tooden
I hope the case is not deliberate bastardness, but even if it isn't it could have ruined my reputation as an artist - but luckily she did not tag me right, named me wrong, and hopefully nobody will come at me for it.

The issue is being handled at the moment but others, and I hope things will get better... Though the author also has many followers so, not sure how many will see correction if there is one in the future...

@hiisikoloart A beta reader for an author fed his work into an LLM to find out how often a particular expression was used...or so they said. Needless to say, they are no longer employed, and the fledgling creation was scrapped. Theft is theft, but trust can't be replaced.
@Tooden @hiisikoloart
and that's even something most text editors can do for you :(
