Just your periodic reminder that AI generated "art" is theft and any creative person, artist or writer, using it still needs to really re-evaluate their ethics and where they stand, cos yikes 💀

I've been blocked by many AI "artists" replying with this image 😂

I proudly label my books as created without any AI help, both covers and interior

You know what's super annoying? I wanted to make a mood board for myself of a character, using no AI. Google search gave me 50% or more AI and it's not always immediately obvious. I hate it.

I know so many people in real life who use it just for fun now and it's really hard not to say "excuse me, but I am a writer and an artist and you have never ever shown an interest in my work why are you asking a machine to make art for you"? 🥲
