You may think the AI art trend is cute and quirky, but your artist friends see you okay with using an $8 app and having it steal artwork to give you an image you could’ve commissioned that would’ve paid their bills minus some company profiting off of theft and your likeness

Drama

Have you ever thought about how people don't have $100 fricking dollars to pay an artist for commissions? For one commission? Sorry I'd rather pay $25 a month for INFINITE stolen artwork than one $200 commission "made with love". I've got bills too dawg

Finally. Somebody who ain’t trying to simp and is actually being real. Literally getting the most for your dollar. Didn’t realize that was a problem

the fact that people care more about saving money than they care about artists literally is the problem

I believe in free markets not morals sweaty

:#marseyyes: :!#marppy:

I mean. It’s 8 dollars for 30 days of whatever I want versus a 100$+ commission. One commission. Idk bout you but you not bout to make me feel guilty for being smart with my money. Silliest take I’ve seen today tbh

Oh sorry I like to commission real artists and not pay for stolen art. One commission that benefits a human being or dozens perpetuating theft

Art is a luxury I cannot afford living off 800$ a month from SSI. So it'll have to be AI art. Atleast it's accessible to me.

But ai art isn't the only alternative? You can still enjoy art online for free, enter art raffles, try out drawing or writing yourself if your health allows and do exchanges with people. You can still fully support artists when you can't afford it; ai art damages us.

An artist I know wanted over $100 to draw a charicature cover of a bday card (standard half-fold, about 5x7in). Tried asking for no color, just line work. Didn't change the price. I declined and ended up using Bitstrips (back when that was a thing). I should have let him rob me?

So you robbed multiple other artists' works to create some horrendous piece that can't get eyes or hands right. You're so cool.

:#marseyagree:

For those who said 8$ is less pricy than commissioning an artist, buying art is a luxe, not a need. You don't necessarily need a art piece. Artists would put 100$ for one piece and it would still be underpaid. Please reconsider buying/using AI if it's not for study purposes.

so poor people just shouldn't have art? man i want pretty walls with pretty artworks too

Yeah just like if you can’t afford to tip don’t eat out kind of BS this is becoming

People are ok with paying an electrician 100 dollar for 1 hour of work, but don't want to pay artists 100 dollar for numerous hours of work... What a world we live in

If an app could fix electrical issues for $8 everyone would use it. You are comparing apples to oranges. Not everyone has $100’s of dollars for art.

Then you don’t have the money for art point blank. It’s a luxury not a need. If you can’t afford it you save you don’t pay someone to steal for you.

Sorry if you're poor you're not allowed to enjoy things!

Yikes some of the replies to this 😬This is why I can't support this, it's just outright disrespectful to artists trying to make a living just cause you're broke and can't afford it 🤡 draw it yourself or cry about it

Looks like you're gonna have to get a new job soon to support yourself

the take i wanna see someone use: was sampling in oldskool hip hop ok? Any hiphop made before like 2000 was made with between some and all samples uncredited, shoeld the entirity of hip hop history be shunned?

Funny thing about hip hop is you listen for the samples, leave because of the lyrics. And then there’s some samples that would be pure heresy to even have the audacity to put a vocal track on top of (J Dilla)
