Well not even a week since my last post about finding AI on DA and I'm seeing more and more of it flooding the home page. It shouldn't be allowed, not that DA can do anything to stop it, but all they're doing is typing a phrase and saving the images, it's akin to stealing images of google and posting them as their own.. It's hard enough getting work seen on this site and now we have to compete with people who can literally post hundreds of images a day without putting any effort in at all, what is even the point? DA is dead and there's nothing us actual artists can do about it.

I just came across something disturbing... So every now and then I like to browse DA and find a few people who I think are really trying their best and give them a diamond badge so they get a month of core as a bit of recognition. I usually, unless I really like your stuff, go for those who like me don't have a huge watch count as I know the pangs of trying so hard but feeling like you're getting no where. Today I was looking at a profile that had some great pieces, they had a reasonable watch count of a couple hundred but I really liked their work and was considering dropping them a badge but as I was browsing their gallery looking the piece I liked the most I read the description of one and noticed something that's really put a foul taste in my mouth; they said they were using AI to generate their work. I immediately noped out of there but it's left me so disappointed that this is now the world we live in, I mean I'm glad they told the truth and weren't exactly trying to pass it
