Now this is where I really draw the line with AI art. I don't hate it by default - I think it brings happiness to many people. There are a lot of people who for example like creating characters, and want to see those characters visually, but don't have the talent to draw them, nor do they have the money to commission an artist. So, they use AI to make it just so they can look at it, feel happy, and that's about it. I don't think stuff like that is bad. I think that's what AI is meant to do anyways - to help people achieve something they can't do on their own. So long they don't profit off of it, don't claim it as their own, don't try to use it in any shady way, etc., I think it's all fine. But THIS. THIS IS DIFFERENT. Using AI to gain an edge over people who actually work on their art? Who use their skills and time to perfect their piece? And simply stealing those pieces they poured so much time, effort and work into, and then use that to your own benefit (much to the disadvantage of the very people you stole it from)? That's a whole another category. And then to have the nerve to try and claim it so others can't steal what you've stolen? I've had my work stolen, traced and claimed as someone else's before. It feels awful. But at least the people who stole from me weren't as insufferable as this person.
