“Fuck you “Ai”. These are just a couple of my beloved Fae being abused. May the faeries haunt the machine! I don’t need, nor care to hear about how awesome the tech is, it sucks, it’s unethical, it’s stealing! Please unfollow me if you’re okay with this… this freaking hurts”
This.
This is an example of an issue with AI compilations.
Anyone who believes the AI generators aren't created via the stealing/theft of art, here are some definitions:

The goal of providing exposure for human artists to combat AI compilations was added later.
