There is no amount of anger I can express to show just how fucking angry I am about Tim Haines fucking over paleoartists everywhere by promoting AI slop. The reason I have to battle daily thoughts of suicide is because of shit like AI infesting everything it touches including paleoart. Fuck you Tim.

i feel so much rage whenever people try to justify LLM use in art by saying well what about disabled people? disabled people make art every day. they often do utilize tools to help them create. but they don't need a machine to make art for them, and that's all an LLM can do for a writer.
