Im starting to see a trend of animation studios cutting together process reels and marketing their work as “We don’t or didn’t use AI” this definitely feels like an alternate art market. Idk if its big enough for everyone but its a hopeful sign.

I really can't wrap my head around Arc System doing AI art more or less of any kind.
But then I forget every company is sadly like this now.

mfs worried about AI music while looping the same pop beat for decades. AI just exposes that most of it is repeatable patterns.

maybe that's good. maybe it pushes us to value live energy and real experimentation more.
the industry will optimize anyway. the real question is how we keep art human.

TLDR: I'm not pro or anti AI, I am neutral. People should be able to do what they want. Authentic art should, and will, still exist. Just ignore it, stop the hate.

And I hand-make art all the time. I enjoy it. And I just simply think this is being blown up way out of proportion. It has gotten so bad. I think it's disgusting that most of the internet feels its okay. See AI? Just move along. You don't have to like it, so you don't have to acknowledge it.

Angående AI og hele den "life imitates art"-greia, så føler jeg vi nå er i den sesongen av Buffy der de tre incel-nerdene prøver seg på verdensherredømme ved å gjøre de aller jævligste tinga de kan komme på.

Og nerdene er sånne som Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel og Sam Altman.

Guess the AI bros really will end up making their "not everyone can make art themselves" canard a reality, at least for digital pieces.

Dollars to donuts they somehow cause a pencil and paper shortage next when they need to burn all the wood to power all those data centers.

i dont think ai will end up winning in the creative space

because art takes time

art takes love pain and things into consideration that you cant do on a calculator or in a couple seconds

it takes a lifetime // you cant calculate that - you cant process decisions as fact

in fact

art is human

I might just being trying to cope. I just hate the concept of AI “art” I hate that its possible this tech wipes me out like so many colonial forces have done to others. Being a str wht American man I might even deserve it. But drawing is worth fighting for to me.

all while every viewer is reminded about ai every time they look at the art
obstructive watermarks def help to make stealing art for printing harder, but ai... there's gotta be more effective ways
February 19, 2026 at 7:37 AM
on one hand i understand ppl that put big NO AI watermark on their art, on the other hand i don't think it's doing anything... it's not like scraper bots can read/ppl that manually feed art into the machine care about respecting boundaries,

Aqui

Onde quero estar.

Desejo explorar essa paisagem em brasa.

Chama que não queima, labaredas que escrevem sobre sentimentos no céu.

Aqui.

hey! just want to say i am aware i have used ai to generate images in the past and i no longer will continue to do this. i am not in support of ai but rather creating REAL art and supporting the people who make art. please do not send me ai images. thank you.
February 19, 2026 at 7:13 AM
ability to say whether or not its the case with this artist /art with full confidence?
I want to trust the person who says "hey, no AI here" and trust that that art is THEIR work.

Her art consistent doesn't make it ai and your spreading this narrative just because you "did some research🤓" doesn't mean jack shit

Its all stupid

And for anyone following those people after they helped"" this individual with their "research" on treacles you gtg

Is also not a new concept

Her rendering looks as a semi realistic art would. Ai copies from actual artists, so of course theres going to be overlap

Her faces and poses are typically more "realistic" and watercolored so most of her art is very grounded.

Just because she has the skills to make
