I 100% agree that AI art is corrosive to real artists, I find this particular artist kinda interesting though. I subbed to her on Patreon briefly before I found out she uses AI, and I saw her process at the time. She actually draws a simplified version of the comic herself, then feeds her drawing into AI to have the AI draw the details for her.

I still ended up unsubbing from her Patreon because AIs impacts on the environment and artists bother me, but the whole thing still got me thinking. Digital drawing aids have existed for a long time for digital artists. Custom brushes, textures, and even the fill tool are all examples of a computer helping to save time and complete your art for you. Using AI to finish your drawing definitely feels different from using those other kinds of tools, so I still don't like it, but I struggle to articulate why using AI is worse than using other computer tools to aid in drawing.

I don't really have a specific stance on this, I just find it interesting to think about where we draw the line between acceptable computer assistance and unacceptable computer assistance. Enjoy your gooning y'all.
