>>60458545For me personally it's a little bit of a column A column B type of situation
There are so many artists out there especially on sites like skeb who will leave you hanging for 2 months while they decide on whether or not your art should be picked as their next commission, then after it is picked you have to wait another 2 months for them to finish it and by the time they finish it it might not even look like the piece that you commissioned them to draw.
I've also worked with artists on other sites who have advertised with other people's arts and then I've commissioned them and the piece that I get looks nothing like the art they've advertised with.
But the other hand is that AI art fucking sucks it still struggles to do any sort of fetish content, It can only produce art because it's been fed art designed by humans and then it tries its best to match all those arts together to create something that is similar to what your prompt that you've fed it is. Most of the time it can't draw hands or feet, has parts of it that clip through other parts and shit like that.
I think that's a fine reference for things if you want to use it as a reference to draw your own art or even study art to a certain extent, the fact that you have to literally turn it off on sites like pixiv otherwise you get the same clunky looking "anime" style 20 million times over, is shit
