A pet peeve of mine: Online creators whose content revolves around animation, games, films, etc almost NEVER mention the struggles behind the scenes of those industries. Use your voice to bring awareness and help the artists that your work is piggybacking off of damn it!!

PROTECT YOUR WORK ONLINE 📣 Glaze doesn't seem to work for everyone at the moment (plus it's still in beta, so patience) in the meantime you can: - use ArtShield - resize you image into a small 72dpi JPEG when posting (which you should do already) (links & resources in reply)

Gallery Panda sponsors a ton of conventions so they can sell AI Art to attendees. If we ask cons to not have AI art, cons need to cut off sponsors promoting AI Art at their booths.

MidJourney getting caught with their pants down. WotC, Wacom, Apex Legends/EA. What other companies have I missed that are starting off the new year with clearly AI imaging in their advertisements? 🫠 I want to be in a different timeline.
