Ya know if folks didnt want their Ai Oc's stolen a good way of going at it would be generating the ai made oc and using that as a baseline to make a character with your own talented hands rather than just...slap an oc generated by a machine using stolen materials.
Would that be tracing? In some cases sure but I think alot of ai generated works have enough of an original look to them that I dont think I'd really mind, just so long as your putting in your own effort at some point.
I feel like Ai is a tool for creation, not a crutch.
