I really miss the days when I could just look at cool art and go "wow, cool" and share it instead of having to be an investigative detective every day.

Felt this in my soul 🫠 Gone are those days..

Kinda only browsing on Cara nowadays because of it. Cara and my favorite artists’ websites I’ve saved.

I assume this is about AI, but for me, it's just straight stolen artwork.

Thank you! I’ve lost my sense of wonder looking at new art. Now it’s “count the fingers, look for repeating patterns.”

this is honestly the part that really boils my piss and that i havent really found a way to put into words. its like having your sense of wonder taken from you. what is the actual cost of that.

Yeah awful new world, I get a sinking feeling sometimes after a few seconds

this is so realthis is so real

This, especially for generated images, stolen work and the person uploading as well. I live a well-balanced life outside of the internet (finally) and I cannot keep up with all the drama or who's being cancelled now for unsavory content. No I won't sit through 1hr long video essays about them.

A million % agree. Folks like you who *actually make art resources for learning more accessible and have no doubt also been scraped by these scumbags deserve more love and attention 🫂

Ture it's exhausting
