If folks do have a bit of disposable income, FA+ is an easy way to support Fur Affinity. www.furaffinity.net/plus/ I've been doing so for a while as I feel FA is integral to our community. Especially when you look at what sites like DA are like these days. We need spaces for artists like FA.

BlueSky is filled with old people who probably read the SW EU and fucking hate GenAI, so I figured y'all might appreciate this. DarthAngelus created a full 3 and half hour long animated "Heir to the Empire" adaption with ZERO genAi. The antithesis of the AI Slop Wars deluge on YT, check it out:

Long ago I saw the #rwby fan animation "Charcoal" when it first released and became a huge fan. This week, almost a decade since that first trailer, the first project I worked with Mark Zhang on set in the same universe, came out. Here are the shots I worked on check it out! : youtu.be/5sLS8xixJeY

Its great that most of the shitty AI generated fan translations that are getting released now have notes like "I don't know the language" and "I don't know how to program" and "this release is it, I know it sucks shit, hopefully somebody will fix it but I won't"

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

Jorge, an animator was harassed for MONTHS by an OpenAI stan taking his wips and jamming them into SORA to "Fix" them. Because he dared to note GenAI companies have ruined the market for everything PC related. That's the type of people they are, its THAT black and white, #animation

Monty Oum's work was the reason I wanted to be an animator, as you can imagine the rwby V10 was nice, and this just a few months after an AI shill who was harassing me lost everything when Sora shut down. And I got to put out my #animation unmolested. Nice to have a few wins youtu.be/PNs3chvtEqo

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

Late addition, but I also wanted to highlight @djaxx.bsky.social's "The Worlds Divide" an entire 2 hour movie he created single handily without any GenAI. I have seen it and can't wait till the general public can to, its something REALLY special and I can't wait for more to see it #animation

Gutierrez already walking back his apology is a shit feeling for me because his previous public stance was a huge motivator for me finishing this even while being harassed by a Genai shill stealing my WIPS. But the responses from others in the #animation industry have been heartening. Thanks
