industIt doesn't take anything away from handmade art, just a couple jobs
sorry to just pick apart all the shit u said but i think saying something like this in particular is incredibly ignorant.
ive been in the online art scene for more than a decade at this point, and ai art has definitely damaged the perception of authenticity in a lot of actual artists, which invites way more negative engagement than positive. maybe that's not a big issue in the grand scheme of things but when will it? when it takes away more than "just a couple jobs"? get real
