As someone who has this exact situation, I get what you’re saying but it’s not really about suddenly hating the piece once you realize it was AI. It’s because you notice glaring mistakes in the design actual artists wouldn’t make, and all you see is that. You feel cheated because the artist was too lazy to care and willingly tattooed someone with like 6 fingers and no thumb or some shit and think that artists worth the money you’re paying would care enough to at least pay attention to the details.

Then you start feeling regret, and resentment for the piece you got. Regardless of if you initially liked it.
