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.

I am so so sad.

Masterful gambit, sir.
Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.
