THIS IS NOT AN "AI ART" SAFE SPACE.
If I see anyone uploading AI generated images to their galleries, it's an insta-block. It isn't art. Typing in a prompt is not effort. It's unethically trained from real artists without their consent and hurts artists who are actually trying to make a living. Professionals in media spaces are losing their careers to greedy, cheap companies who want to use AI generated garbage instead of hiring and employing real people. Even if you are completely unexperienced, practicing and doodling makes you heaps and loads better than any AI prompt kitty. Pick up a pencil. Pick up a stylus. Use your own finger. Understand why AI generated "art" is undermining and threatening the community as a whole.

Thanks for the llama =3
Hey, long time no chat! Yeah, of course! I decided to llama-bomb my watchers.
Indeed it has been! How are you?
Oh man, I don't even know where to begin. I think we last spoke around when I was still in high school?? I can't remember. Maybe it was college. Anywho! I moved away from my home state several years ago and I've had a bunch of different careers. In a seven-year long relationship going on eight. My partner and I just bought a house for ourselves, our dog, and our two geckos. I don't draw a lot anymore due to art block and a lack of energy, but I'm super active over on Toyhouse and I've recently gotten back into gaming (mostly pet sims and Warframe).
I'm mostly okay, I guess. Tired a lot of the time. Same old mental health stuff, but it's manageable even if debilitating at times.
What about you? How've you been?
Happy Birthday.
