I did my best to get it as accepted as it is, but then there are views like this
>>45502708 and views from the opposite side who seem like they just want to wreck the others. If anything, just accept the containment I managed to get. 2 months ago there was no venue for AI images, so at least try to be understanding that everyone does whatever they do, as best they can to please some women with virtual avatars on the internet. Whether it is drawing, singing or programming schedules.If you feel attacked by artists because you like doing AI images there is a simple analogy to tell them to fuck off. "Google took pictures of my yard without my permission and I don't want them on Google maps. Do I attack everyone using Google Maps when I see them or do I go to Google to complain?"
It's not just "it's better to commission from real artists" but there is an uncertainty with the level of copyright and stuff (And yes, Novel trained without permission as much as anyone else). Keep in mind that most people's contact with AI images have been through those websites or discords that make it as easy as possible to write word and get image. They do not know it became more of an image editing tool, picrel.
Imo it's a pointless debate and I wish it will not bring more hate on me and my work with AI because it leads to views like yours, while I have been working to increase the popularity and acceptance of it in this space.
Trip is on PC and am on phone now. I'll use it tomorrow if needed to prove my view, however I hope the debate dies down until then and we talk more about what we can work on together.
