Between my self-curated archives, the backlogs stored on my personal USB stick and the iCloud downloads folder being used as a buffer until the next stick purge, I have a total of 1,210 files containing AI-generated material in my possession.

Although, if it's any consolation, I refuse to use any generative service if it requires an account to be used. My applications for these services are very cornercase, and as such I insist on using these services anonymously. Not to mention that I have socially enforced rules regarding my email.

all I’m saying is art is really rewarding to make on your own, plus there’s a way better option for free image generation

also ai art generally lacks coherence or personality, as well as the fact that it steals from artists (in terms of both using artwork as training data usually without direct consent, and also trying to take artist’s jobs)

if you don’t care I won’t try to stop you, but you genuinely seem to have a lot of ideas that could be great for making art. I also just really don’t like ai if that wasn’t obvious already

Most of the time, I don't use them solely for making finished products, but rather as a means of inspiration. I think of it as the AI remixing and redistributing the elements of the axioms I provide. When the right impurities happen to be introduced, they can inspire me. Hence why I refer to them as ‘image’ rather than ‘art’ generators.

fair honestly, although usually I scroll through discord/tumblr to find inspiration outside of the random fluctuations of my mind, although I’m guessing that websites like those are mostly off limits for you

Yeah. The only social platforms I use are a hidden discussion forum on an educational website, an IRC channel that recently lost its last traces of life, a second-party replacement for a section of that educational website, and this website.
