A reminder from Comic Book Dad —

Fellow artists,
never forget that Al.
Bros are so desperate to be able to do what you do that they're willing to destroy their self respect, the entire copyright system, the very planet they live on, just to be able to pretend that they can do what you can do. That is how powerful what you do really is.

it's frankly discouraging when it seems a lot of people can't tell or don't care that the image they're sharing is ai vs sharing actual art

Also, if you turn off their computer and internet they're no longer "artists". Even digital artists will know how to draw on paper, though.

I respectfully disagree. They don't give a shit and just want the money at any cost. As long as they are not paying. As usual.
