Most people here don't want to pay for anything
Yup. Thats actually it. And then some of those people decide they care enough to pay for it themselves and then possibly spend more than paying for it from the big guys funny enough. But i do understand wanting to own what you do and have rather than rent it.
But we really got to get back to paying for what we do, and decide with more care who and how. But like good luck getting everyone else to even consider less or slowing down for that.
And how many of those people you think would be willing to pay for some drawings if AI wouldn't exist?
If artists can't compete with AI, they're bad artists or produce bad art, simple as that.
It's actually pretty arrogant of all those "artists" to think that they somehow deserve to be paid and praised just because they call themselves artists. A DeviantArt account doesn't entitle you to be paid for every drawing.
Artists can't compete with an AI that can pump out thousands of images a day, regardless of how good they are.
Also, I have never known a single artist that expects to get paid or praised just for making something. We don't feel entitled to anything, we just don't want every attempt we make to be marginalized and our artworks constantly stolen.
I wouldn't call them bad artists for being outpaced by AI. No human can produce content by hand as fast as a computer. AI is just another tool in an extremely long list of tools that have changed how art is made.
If you go back far enough, I bet cavemen had arguments when someone invented the first brush and could paint all day long without bloodying their fingers scraping them against cave walls. Half joking there, but new and better tools are always being developed. Cameras are a great example of a new tool for art that made art a lot more accessible and affordable and we now accept as a normal artistic tool and not a threat. This attitude against AI will also pass over time.
I mean, yeah I wouldn't wanna pay someone if I can get an art of the same quality for free. Love me my automated hentai!
thanks for using Leebra!

People that simp for AI art just don't want to pay artists. Pricing for commissions can vary depending on the artist and what's being asked. Then to make it worse, some of the more popular artists either don't take commissions or they are always sold out almost immediately. So some people decide instead of paying or learning to draw themselves, they will just let the AI do it. They steal other people's work and feed it to the AI so it can emulate the desired artist. Some even have the audacity to sell it.
