DO NOT USE MY ART!!
I can't believe we even have to discuss this here of all places! NOT ONE of us approved of our art being used for a.i. training. It's bad enough DeviantArt pulled this crap, but now ArtStation as well?!
This is OUR ART! OUR COPYRIGHT! OUR PROPERTY! NO ONE has the right to use our property in such a mass means. A.I. "training" goes far beyond "Fair Use" laws. It's flat out theft under the disguise of "progress" and "art". This isn't like those fake artists duct taping a banana to a wall, or tossing literal trash onto the floor and calling it "Art". That is insulting enough to us REAL artist.
We've spent literally years to develop our crafts. We've poured our lives into it! We didn't do all of that hard work to be unique creators, just so some pretend wannabe can come along and steal it with a few text prompts clicks!
A.I. generated imagery is theft! There is ZERO way around it! To prove it, I've included three (3) A.I. generated images from simple test prompts. . You can easily see the original artists' signatures, as well as a freaking game logo! Real Art DOES NOT STEAL from other images!
I'm not saying A.I. does not have it's place. If used to HELP improve one's ALREADY EXSISTING ART, with MINOR changes/enhancements, THEN it is fine. But not to flat out use our creations and style and reused as "original art"! KEEP A.I. OFF ARTSTATION! DO NOT USE OUR ART EVER!
