Finding out someone made an AI model off of your art is pretty bum. It feels like I lost something. Having something as personal as my art being replaced for whatever reason just makes me feel like I have no purpose. Like someone wants me gone. I'm not needed to make my own art.

It sucks, but it doesn’t change the fact that you’re the original; and the person who used ai to make it isn’t an artist at all, they’re a fraud.

Yeah it happened to me too. As depressing as it is, you are you. Nobody can replace you, and we love you for you. No shitty generated approximation is going to stop that. They showed me some from yours and they barely look like your stuff anyway. Cutting edge tech still aint got shit on you

Well, they say every masterpiece has its cheap copy. And your art is definitely a masterpiece if I ever saw it.
