I contrast these reasons with the FurAffinity announcement from a week ago[0]: > AI art is a damn good learning tool, but it's taking everything it does from artists. It leeches on the time, effort, skill, energy an artist put into their work. > You can use tools like this to learn and try to come up with concepts to learn from. I have nothing wrong with that, but just adding it to an image gallery. The origin are questionable unlike, say, using a site specifically for royalty free images. > I stand with artists, not prompts.
