...the one website I have trusted.... has betrayed us. scratch is now stealing art from minors (WITHOUT THERE CONSENT) so they can make money off of it. this is terrible. if ai gets a hold of your art, it will be able to copy your style. if ai continues, there will no longer be any jobs for artists. this may sound like a exaggeration, but unfortunately, it is simply the ugly truth.
so, you may be thinking "HOW THE HECK CAN WE FIGHT IT?!" well, for now, I would say: 1. stop posting anything or liking or sharing anything that isn't related to how bad ai is. 2. if you have to post art, at a static effect, make it really messy, with messy lineart, and try to pixilize it. 3. interact with projects that are against ai. 4. go steal peoples ai "oc's"
