Ok, I am going to say it here because it kind of involves Shiori fanart.
I really don't like the shit this guy
https://twitter.com/andyleeyuan/status/1710323878806032521 got for drawing AI images of Shiori.
Look at the replies. The guy was just having fun drawing AI stuff with no one paying attention to him, and all of a sudden he gets a mob of angry people.
In general, I don't like the hate AI art gets. I don't like hypocritical artists who have been "stealing" from artists that came before them but now complain about it. I don't like luddits who seethe at technology instead of seeing its potential benefits to people. Above all, I don't like mobs who find a greater good to commit evil in the name of.
I am not joking when I say I wish I could kill all of them. These people are legitimately anti-social. They are not even people in the full sense. I don't know if you know about the ghost in the machine book. In there, people are defined as holon. A holon is something that is both whole and part of something. These people are no longer whole; they are wholly part. They lost themselves in the greater mob. And a mob is a scary creature - I use creature in its fullest sense here. A mob is a creature composed of humans, a creature whose cells are human. A mob is different from humans, of course it is. We are different from our cells. Since a mob is not human, it does not think like a human. It's a meta-creature, with alien morality and thoughts. If we are this complex, imagine how complex something made of us is. We can kinda sorta somewhat guesstimate what a mob wants to do. It wants immediate satisfaction, with no conception of time or space. Maybe this lack of care is a good thing, and we don't understand it because we lack the mental power of a human hive mind. Regardless, it is destructive and self-destructive. We must, then, put a stop to it.
