Hello! Thank you for watching o/

Thanks for faving :)

Just wanted to say here that I did leave a comment replying to the other person here: https://www.deviantart.com/comments/4/86817231/5123843987

In your defense, telling them how ridiculous it was for them to make a personal jab at your gallery for being of a particular subject, as if theirs couldn't also be described as someone using existing materials to make a bunch of images of their special interest (and I didn't say this there to keep my tone respectful and meet them halfway for a discussion, but gmod images take time and effort and are made using resources that people have created for that use willingly so I don't actually consider them the same at all, lol).

I also tried to argue that their comparison of AI image generation to being a director doesn't stick, as directors tend to compensate and credit the people whose work they use. While dreamup is better than other AI image generators for ethical data collection, it isn't perfect and most people who use them just don't care anyway, which is where the vitriol against AI mostly comes from.

As if to confirm that they are one such person who doesn't care about the ethics of any of it and has no argument against this fact, the AI image creator who owns the profile deleted my comment and blocked me so it's gone now. I assume yours is only left up as well so people can see the replies in their favour.

If you don't want the drama spilling over to your own profile I understand, feel free to delete this comment (will probably do so myself in due time). I wanted to reply here just so you, and anyone else who comes your way from that drama, can know people probably are defending you but it's getting deleted by the profile owner.
