Wow, such a sad article written by an artist.
FUCK those people who care about others wellbeing but didn't spend their hard earned saving on arts, amirite? And i bet majority of people here can say "just last week" because videogame is art. This basically saying you shouldn't care about others if you don't directly helping them. Since we cannot directly involved on helping palestinian other than protest and boycott, fuck them, amirite?
I rarely use this comic but i feels like it fit so well here
This article definitely need a rewrite.
I think some articles are written specifically to be rage bait. Says a lot about our society.
I buy handicrafts as gifts quite a lot. As someone who does handicrafts I have a deep appreciation for the artists/artisans who work on those. As you guessed I also regularly buy/gift video games and almost exclusively indie titles. I also regularly rent books from the library and probably buy one every month or two to have to loan out or as a gift. I have commissioned two original pieces from traditional artists but have received neither. One I did get an (incomplete) refund for. I imagine my experience isn't the norm, though I'm sure I'm not alone.
The fact that they act like being vocally against AI isn't helping their cause is idiotic. Even if I had done none of the above, the sentiment that AI art "doesn't count" will definitely discourage people who are interested in flaunting their acquired art from viewing AI art as a suitable replacement.
How ironic would it be if they wrote that article with AI? Lmao
