It's been about a year of experimenting with AI art. Not only have we seen more people take up AI image generators as a way to create art (albeit with low-effort spam - honestly, uploading a hundred versions of the same output is hardly creative), the AI models themselves have made leaps and bounds, both in art and in animation. I've been pushing to see how photorealistic these outputs can be, specifically for the Quicksand fetish side. Outputs like Safari Girl above have been the absolute gems.

It was barely months ago that we were struggling with morphed arms, fingers, teeth and boobs. Now, the models have incredible anatomical accuracy and the textures, especially with LoRAs, are BETTER than photography in some respects.
