Standing with all my fellow artists against AI theft, replacement, and devaluation.

ArtStation is one of the biggest sources of "scraping" for these AI developers and it doesn't seem to want to do anything about it. People who used this site in good faith to engage with other artists and promote their own work in hopes of getting jobs were unknowingly contributing to apps that are designed to replace us. Meanwhile Artstation has remained silent, and worse yet has allowed AI generators to flood the website with images created off the backs of humans who spent their lives improving their craft. It's a joke. I'm a nobody but I won't post a single piece of art on this website until Artstation takes a clear stand. * Image credit to Nicholas Kole.
