Hey artists and content creators,
I'm looking for stock images websites to suggest to people/companies instead of using AI "art" in their social media content.
Any good suggestions of website like Getty Images or Adobe Stock that are 100% free from AI slop?
Cheers!

Art vs Artist 2025

Thanks to everyone who's ever looked at one of my drawings this year.💚
I had my first mass layoffs experience in April, I'm thankful that I somehow got hired to draw armored people again by new and lovely clients.🗡️
Also f*ck AI. Cheers! ✨

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Seeing this being shared a lot, poking fun at AI usage.

My main concern with Sam Altam isn't that he is bad at parenting, but that he's a thief and a fascist.

Thanks to Gautier S for sharing these from his personal collection.

Art vs Artist (Broken neck edition)
A drawing of a 15th century knight based on the recreation of Le Gallois de Fougières by Genzdarmes 1415. A photo of the artist attending a Fiore's dagger class, his opponent both twisting his wrist and pushing his head back in what looks like a very painful move (it was).

Still pretending I'm doing #knightober and not doing what I'd do any month of the year anyway.

Starting #knightober, day 1! 🗡️ No particular prompt list for me, and I probably won't be able to do every day of the month. Health and safety first to everyone doing an October challenge this year, then have fun! :)
