No to AI

For the longest time I wondered what to do with this old account. I loved dA, I loved the community I once had here. There is nostalgia in this place.

But with each step toward AI this platform makes, I felt more and more repulsed by it. Artists - real, genuine artists - aren't quite that welcome anymore, unless they are fine with feeding the data sets.

Today I took the time to move all my stored art into the open and then one by one delete it. It was about time I did it. It hurt, but was also cathartic. I'm moving on.

I'm still posting art in the following places:

Pillowfort: https://www.pillowfort.social/SophiePf

Cara: https://cara.app/sophiepf

Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/sophiepf

My website: https://sophiepf.com/

This account will stay active, since I still follow a lot of people here. But there won't be any new posts.

Thanks for the time I got to spend here, I'll remember it fondly, even if the end was a clusterfuck.
