my only critique for mh wilds is that I should be able to run all my graphics on medium EXCEPT the cooking cutscenes which should be ran on ultra.

Sunspot is done he is finally done it's been like two months and he's finally done!! And he STANDS! I can't believe he stands!

This is the Large Wyvern pattern by craft intentions on etsy. Absolute beast to make (pun intended)

sometimes someone will casually mention using chatgpt or some other generative ai thing and I can actually feel the little

Plesioth is next up to be httyd-ified, but progress is a little slow due to this man putting stuff in his mouth that he shouldn't

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.
