that hobbit style door does look nice. i do think googling still has its place.

but like i said, reference is not necessarily for tracing. it's just for taking in elements and details you could use.
we aren't robots, we have our own imagination that can put the scene together as long as we have the right ideas and elements to work with.
AI feels far more targeted in this sense, because you can have it include mutliple elements you want and you can see how it puts things together. it can help inspire you.

>The companies that you're supporting by using this shit certainly are.
it makes no sense for the company to be evil but not the users. there is no real meaning in focusing on the companies at all.
in reality this is just about the technology.


>The fact that they robbed so many artists is certainly evil.
i disagree. i've argued about this in length before.

>You just choose to not see it that way because its working in your favor. Real artists are being hurt by all of this. I'm sure its VERY cool being completely mediocre like you these days because you can just effortlessly steal from better artists now.
my stuff is on danbooru too. and i don't give a shit. because AI isn't actually stealing shit.
the way i see it, the AI is its own entity that learned to be at the level it is at. (with all its strength and faults)
everything about the way it actually works supports this viewpoint.

>It means you don't give a shit and prefer to larp as an artist rather than actually be one. You're a thief, not an artist.
lol. and who are you?.
