I blame the image generators more than the people. If they didn’t exist, nobody would be blaming the artist for anything.

There are probably artists thinking “I don’t wanna post my art online cause what if they call it fake or use it to train” too nowadays.

Alternatively, we could change social traditions to one where it’s normal to go “Well artist’s credit is there, I will investigate real quick.” But that’s for later.

Bands after saying they are going on a world tour in Europe.

It’s likely trained on them.

Now I am curious what is going on in fedinsfw.

Depends on the field, no? I am studying math as hobby and books from over a century ago do pretty well.
