pro tip:

I don't have the money to commission an artist. I'm poor af, I unironically eat those $0.25 ramen noodle packs.

Attacking me for using AI to create art because I could be "paying real artists" is just saying I don't deserve to have access to art because I'm poor. That's reactionary capitalist shit

also AI art is real art.

It turns out, I don't use a knife.
