caps, rant: OKAY so here's my opinion on AI: AI is okay, WHEN IT IS USED FOR ENTERTAINMENT OR INSPIRATION. AI should never be used to create the art itself. It's one thing if you use AI to give you a written drawing prompt and then YOU draw based off the prompt, but AI-generated art/videos, especially if someone claims they made it, should not exist. ALSO, AI should require permission from an artist to train off their drawings. Lots of people, including me, do not want AI to use their drawings. "But I can't draw well-" then LEARN. I understand if it's hard. But if you don't want to/can't make your own art, then just don't post art, please. And if you WANT to post art, then learn to draw by yourself. Practice. A lot. My art used to be terrible, and now it's pretty good. just bc u don't like your art style, does NOT give you an excuse to use AI. And using AI art trained off someone else's art pieces/art style is stealing. That is their art, even if they didn't make the specific piece, and imo that situation WOULD be plagiarism. AI should not be used to create art. AI is a great technological development, but it should only be used to support, not to create. thx for reading my lil rant ><
