Raw LLM Responses

This is stupid. AI is "stealing" just about as much as you "stole" your art references. There is no stealing, there is simply looking at and learning from. I remember being a kid and learning about how dumb ancient societies were, and then yet here we are... the new modern humans enduring this growing trend of neo luddites like you trying to "poison" the AI's ability to learn. And for what? Artists will always have a place. Nothing can beat the personal touch of a human interpreting or creating new things and working with you. But the thing is, not all of us have the luxury of getting to have real artists do things for us. I remember one time I finally set aside like $500 to get a good art piece done for one of my MMO characters and all the good artists never responded to my dms. Or their commissions were always full. Yet then looking at their feeds and timeline they suddenly had all the time in the world to do free content to their other art buddies who are entirely capable of doing their own art... or random crap they were in the mood to do. Meanwhile the AI is never busy. The AI is never going to have its commissions full. The AI will do whatever I tell it to do, whenever, and not ask or expect an absurd amount of money for the "privilege" of getting to communicate with it. So people like me finally have an avenue of getting to enjoy art and content we want to actually see and here you are trying your best to destroy it and drag it down.
