Have fun, I don't care either way and wish everyone involved in the story dies painfully.

The AI art debacle has made me realize normies have no clue how the sausage is made, if you asked most people, probably 80%+ of them would say:

>Artists(especially pro artists) almost never use inspirations and almost never learn from copyrighted material(that's theft)
>AI is just a photo collage tool, it doesnt make anything unique

Honestly, it genuinely made me understand why artfags are treated like gods and get paid 200$ for scribbles, the average /beg/ that learns to use references correctly does better than 99% of normies because they'll think you spent 800 years on learning and had to craft it entirely out of your head through neurodivergence and uniqueness.
