I will never support AI Art

To me, like so many other artists, it is a threat to us all struggling to get our names out in the world.

It encourages art theft.
It encourages people to disregard the original artist's hard work.
It encourages plagiarism.
It shows no respect for actual artists.
It is the complete opposite of transformative art & expression.

You cannot convince me that relying on an algorithm is a good alternative for artists or newcomers when it backpedals off of other people's work. Works that can take hours, days, sometimes weeks to complete. And all it takes for an AI "artist" is a few clicks and they've got a bastardized version of someone else's work, with painfully obvious imperfections they don't bother to correct or notice. AI art is no different than people who make Nightcore "music" and claim its hard work.

As a starving artist, this is insulting. I don't care how it works, none of that matters when art theft is strongly tied to it. It scares me that people will abuse these sources to steal jobs from people like myself who desperately want to work in the artistic field (or companies will use AI to do the job itself), and it disappoints me when others try to sell AI art and admit they didn't even draw the damn thing!

Am I a perfect artist? No. Do I strive to get better? Yes. Would I consider using it if my hands had to be amputated and I couldn't draw? I’d pay fellow artists for commissions than feed an algorithm that vomits out abominations.

I will never support these sad excuses for "artists", or its community. It will forever lack the one crucial element no artificial intelligence can replicate... Imagination. If you support this garbage community, see no issue with it, think it will be accepted over time and it is the way of the future... You are out of your damn mind, have lost my support, and I won't be the only real artist out there that will say the same thing.
