testrun before i set up proper commissions for these: SEND ME UR FASHIONS! I wish to see fashions outside of my box of thinking/tastes to test if this would still be fun if I had to draw things I would not make as a fashion myself subjects will be picked as artist's choice

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

so many time i wake up wit wonderful, amazing ideas that i can AND want to draw. but then i just stay in bed instead cus existing itself is just too hard. anyway. I think we should normalise freaking out about the fact that maestro Sejic has a design in warframe and its underrated as fuck

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.
