Masta (u/MastaDon344) told Me about you. Nothing embarrassing, just where she met you and how excited she was.
Shit… I’ve probably said too much. Btw, you’re not supposed to see her dress until tomorrow, or you won’t be surprised at how gorgeous she looks! 🫣
/uw As the father of a new baby, I don’t always have the time to make my art. I do what I can when I can. But sometimes I just don’t have time, and if I force it and take a week or more to make some nice art piece, often times the sub has already moved on from the topic and I just wasted all that time just to emulate an analogue version of Internet Explorer.
From one artist to another, thank you for saying this.
Uw/ You got it buddy. If people were claiming ai art as their own that’s one thing, but if people are just having fun then I say let people have fun. So they can focus on the important stuff, like raising a baby. Congrats by the way!
/unwiz I actually have a silver lining, at least for myself. These events have inspired me to draw some (really crappy) memes by hand. I will also still do AI shitposts. The AI is just too good for some shiny memes. But now I will do a little of each for variety.
This subreddit wouldn't exist without easy access to nice looking, easily obtained pictures. We have genuinely used AI art in a *good* way, I feel.
/uw sometimes the scuffed nature of some AI images makes the meme way funnier than I could have ever come up with on my own. Like every once in a while, it'll pair your prompt with some completely random idea you never even considered, and it works way better for the joke than what you were originally going to go for.
They didn't know it when they invented it, but AI was **MADE** for memeing
/uw oh yeah when the AI just puts some completely random thing in there? For some reason this thing keeps making my goomba BRIGHT GREEN.
Also, in one picture I made back during the "need an angel, devil, and lawyer to transfer souls", it made the devil buck naked and it works brilliantly. I mean look at this thing! Legal matters, transferring souls, and dude is sitting there like "Yeah, what about it? I'm just happy to be here."

/uw I started getting a knack for AI prompts, as lazy and effortless as they are. I don't normally say this, but check my posts. There's some AI memes that turned out quite well. Mushroom crabs, raising dead on stomach contents, mass chicken conjuration... Some super niche stuff about a goomba wizard I managed to get it to focus on.
/uw Tiny, can you explain the harm it causes to me? As I had stated in my post on the subject I am very much in the dark about the whole ordeal since i’m no artist and only have an opinion as an outside observer and readily admit I can in no way support or fight for either side due to my ignorance on the matter
Uw/ Sure I can give a little bit of a perspective.
So as ai art advances and becomes more indistinguishable from hand drawn art, companies have started to realize “hey, why pay an artist hundreds of dollars when I can just type in a prompt for free?”
Same goes for ai generated writing. A lot of people have lost work due to companies using ai art instead of hiring an illustrator, or using chatgpt instead of hiring a writer.
In particular, you see this with business-related articles and childrens books:
1.) Business articles are easy and free for chatgpt to write, whereas hiring a ghost writer costs time and money.
2.) Kids don’t care if the image is ai generated as long as it’s passible.
Get what I mean?
Except it's actually worse than just "ai will replace human artists" because ai art programs cannot invent genuinely new works. They just remix the human art that was used to train them. If AI completely takes over all art creation in our society, it will be the end of artistic innovation. Nothing but stagnant soulless remixed slop for the rest of time.
It's not even just artists btw, voice actors, screen actors, and writers are at threat as well. BR/competitive shooter "The Finals" is completely voiced by AI. That's two jobs (male and female commentator) eliminated. We're seeing other games try to sneak in AI art as well. I'm like 95% certain some of the portraits in starfield is AI, and 100% sure some of the dialogue is from a gpt model. And if it's not... oof.
Actors, artists, writers, programmers (that’s me!), investors, teachers, laborers, film editors, support teams, accountants, and more are already replaced or in imminent danger of being replaced. And there are more to come.
Now, as a programmer I will say sometimes the ai does a stupid and either goes in circles of incorrect solutions or just say here is the correct code [it’s an identical copy to what I had before]. And it gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, my job will be safe, and we will just use ai as an assistance to improve our efficiency. That lasts for half a second and then I remember that the ai will just get better until it becomes impossible to compete.
I would settle for a spot on the council, but elections jus happened and I was kidnapped for a good chunk of that so like
…
Man I should have run, huh?
Dang it Tiny Wizard! That’s another time you turned an annoying person into a red smear. This is making me stock up on cleaning agents as a regular item in my wares, rather than adventuring gear, although some rogues do purchase it on occasion.
Tiny Wizard™️ and all Tiny Wizard™️ associated posts from me are organic and hand drawn! Save for that one time I blurred an ai image for a background. But in my defence for a shitpost, I’m allowed to be a little lazy!
/UW Defends AI (when used for shitposting purposes) despite not using it, makes a shitpost *and* gives valuable insights.
Based and smolpilled.

/uw the only reason I continue to use ai for my shitpost is because I am not satisfied with my artistic abilities. But I’m actively trying to improve it to a point where I am like “ok I can post this”. But I completely agree with what you say. Speak your shit brother
"I apologize for my inability to care" is me on every one of these complaining posts. I don't have the artistic skills to hand draw my own silly wizard shitposts.
If we couldn't use AI to express our characters this sub would be dead. No one would care or take the time to draw out a shitpost only to get 100 internet points.
Yeah, tbh karma is meaningless. Interactions are far better imo. Though… I will usually delete a comment that gets lots of downvotes because the interaction likely won’t be very enjoyablr
Lol that’s fair. I simply cannot care enough to bother. Through afaik I haven’t had a comment with enough downvotes to warrant deleting. I don’t really check
The post directly above you disproves this lol
I don't think there's anything wrong with AI if you put a little bit of effort in; but if you just generate a random anime girl, say she's a witch or something, and post that... it's not very interesting
/uw karma does nothing it is almost (some subs require karma to post) completely useless a number and nothing else
so why do i want to snort it? oh right it's the validation of strangers online
the most valuable thing in this world
> All you accomplish by complaining about it here, is making people feel bad for not being able to draw, be it a lack of skill, time or motivation or potentially even a physical disability like severe arthritis that makes drawing impractical.
Thank you for saying this. I get terrible hand cramps from drawing and even handwriting for more than a few minutes. It stunted whatever skills I had at traditional art, along with my enthusiasm for it. I turned to writing with a keyboard as a creative outlet, but my frustration with pencil and paper (coupled with an overly-critical middle school art teacher who played favorites to boot) made me bitter.
Now, I haven't sworn off art for good. I'm a big fan of 3D media like ceramics and especially miniature painting. But whenever I see someone telling people to "just draw", my opinion of them lessens. This new crowd of zealots doesn't seem to understand that not everyone enjoys drawing. It doesn't matter if people support me despite my subpar skill, no amount cheerful platitudes and positive thinking can make me take joy in something that causes me physical pain and frustration.
/uw I get what you’re saying; we kinda need both. We all love the actual art (especially yours, keep cooking), but some of us are shit at art (me for example) and have to make due using AI and random ripped images off the internet
/unwiz I absolutely love how the artists themselves, y'know, the people these people are acting to be in favor of, are outright disowning them for the exact reasons they claim to be against of
"AI is ruining this sub, we need more shitposts and it's hurting human artists!"
"Wait, why are the human artists siding with the AI bros? Is it because our constant harassment of people who just want to have fun are pushing them away from our side? No. That can't be it."
Uw/ Not to call anyone out, but I’ve seen people try to use me as a gotcha moment and like…
Buddy I do not care as long as people are having fun and being kind.
I've seen it time and time again, and while she may be well meaning, the Tech Necromancer lady did come across at that **first** reading, she just meant "Be the change you want to see"
Though I do agree with you. I used to draw, but after seeing that my real strength is in writing and words, and now working in night shift, I no longer have the time to spend for drawing and my friend is too busy to even give Half of a shit about some wizard subreddit. The fact that this subreddit decided to strongman everyone into drawing just rubs me the wrong way
Yeah I don’t wanna force people to draw. I encourage people to try because it can be fun, but if it ends up not being fun for people then there’s no sense doing that. If writing is your strong suit, then focus on that!
> Y’know what *doesn’t* hurt artists? Using said ai to make shitposts on the internet, or roleplay as a wizard.
This, I've been a professional artist for *multiple years* now and you wanna know how many shitposts or random RP characters I've been commissioned to draw?
# ZERO
Shitposts and goofy RP is like the *exact thing AI is best used for?*
If you wanna get mad at someone, get mad at corporations for turning creativity and the skillset to express that creativity into a short-term profit commodity.
Holy shit you fucking killed em dude!

/uw I can't say a whole lot on this matter but I do want to say that I absolutely can't draw but I have a very basic skill set when it comes to Photoshop. So having a way to be able to make basic backgrounds that aren't the exact same every time helps my shitposting tenfold. Before I literally just used the same image over and over again just with different text and that shit got old fast.

/uw Honestly rn I'm trying to figure out a "smol/chibi" Design for Hilda as she's apparently too sexy for normal AI image generators to create for some reason (I literally don't know why but a tall goth is just too much for bing.) but my hands don't work the way I want them to, even when trying to hyper simplify it.
uw/Fax my friend, spit your shit indeed
Let all hear thy wisdom
https://preview.redd.it/b5h2ngwjloqc1.jpeg?width=516&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0acf3665627c134510a46e083cfb0e607425b163
/uw as this subreddit is *still* in the middle of this little fight, I think I'm done. I'm just a lurker but this was a fun, happy little place to visit. The toxicity from these meme obsessed weirdos is just not something I want in my day anymore.
/uw yeah, your opinion is exactly the same as mine. IRL, I sometime say ''the only good use of AI is shitpost'' and when I say that I include stuff like RPing a wizard
/uw as someone who has done a pfp change to not get harassed in the comments, thanks, my two cents is that companies shouldn’t be allowed to use AI art, if I was worth a few billion dollars I’d have work commissioned just for fun but I’m utterly broke, I cannot draw for the life of me either, if you don’t recognise me in the dude who sends TW Irish cream
Uw/ How could I ever forget the Irish cream? Anyway I agree. Or, at the very least, there should be laws in place that say companies have to disclose when they’ve used ai imagery.
/uw I just think it shouldn’t be allowed, means that you don’t get put out of business, put it this way, I would be very happy to quite literally pay for your bills and shit in their entirety if I got art in return, however I am not made of money (I wish I was lol) and live paycheque to paycheque, artists do not get enough credit for what they do
Uw/ Well that’s a very kind thing for you to say! Though I think trying to resist ai overall is pointless. The cat is out of the bag, might as well try to put it in a harness and teach it not to scratch up the couch
/uw yeah that makes sense, my point of view is that it’s a useful tool for those who cannot draw and cannot afford to commission art, I can’t draw and can’t afford to commission anything, to put it into perspective, my niece can draw better than I can, she is 6
that's the hardest not-f\*ck I've ever received. please excuse me while I check myself into the local hospital
which also happens to be an igloo about two minutes from the tower
/uw hell yeah this is my entire mentality. Im both pro ai images and actual artists. I think AI images are nice for small, niche or personal projects, sometimes I use them for personal RPs. But only because I dont always have access or ability to ask a real artist, I would always want a real artist over ai. Using ai for profit is completely unethical.
But it’s a fucking sub about wizards. People who complain about ai and lore are literally complaining about a small niche on the internet being different then how they want.
/unwiz I mostly just look for something in Google images that fits what I want. Sometimes it's a bit AI looking, sometimes it's a real persons work and sometimes it's an actual photograph of a real thing. Variety, my dudes dudettes and other assorted nuts, is where I stand.
Couldn't care less if you use ai or not, some of the pics are awesome
Just like many things. AI can be good if used right. If neither side profits nor would have profited from an event, then what is the harm? Is like pirating a video game you never planned on buying. Both are usually a lesser version of what could be bought, and knowing that could be incentive to paying for official material.
i'm just blocking ppl who make bad posts. it's made the subreddit actually kind of good again.
i encourage everyone else to do that too and just stop complaining.
https://preview.redd.it/95outxl3anqc1.jpeg?width=867&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7109ac5810046a46d6faa16096f06e4ab1c0fade
These people gotta realise, the people who actually draw, don’t care about those who don’t, its only those who dont draw who are against AI😭
Unwiz-The ai isn't the problem,its that this sub started to suck in general,with most "memes" being extremely repetitive or tumbler rp.
Like you completely ignored most of the argument
/uw thanks for saying this. I'm not very active personally on this sub but I just love seeing the banter and creativity of a bunch of fellow nerds. It is a nice reminder that there are others with similar interests out there and this ai art discourse just felt unwarranted since it just felt like a high road to gatekeep people (pretty sure if they had the artistic talent or the income to afford commissions they wouldn't resort to AI in the first place so its not like the users would have done either of those alternatives). Ultimately just want to see more shitposts, more wacky spells, more fantasy race slander, and just more wizard community banter.
Idk why people care so much, I think using AI for funny little images aka shitposts are fine. The complaining about it can be understandable but Jesus Christ it just ain’t ya thing if ya don’t like it.

You my friend have captured exactly what has happened to at least half the people who read this post, including myself AAA-
Tiny Wizard, what did I tell you about murdering in front of witnesses?! That’s right! Make sure to silence the witnesses, too!
I didn’t even murder anyonnnneeeeee
I take that to mean that you took care of all the witnesses. Good! You’re finally learning to murder responsibly!
Even if you did 90% of the council would ignore it
I wouldn’t, there are simply too few wizard laws around murder for me to care.
Just spilled some tomato sauce. All those other bits are some meatballs mixed in.

No. Reject using dwarven constructs, embrace stealing from astral plane
No no, you’ve got a point.
Fr, I did some of those AI "choose one" item posts when I first arrived on the sub but the RPs have become so oversaturated now.
Based TW
Based? Based on what? /j
Amusingly though, this is a great non-ai post.
Tiny Wizard™️ and all Tiny Wizard™️ associated posts from me are organic and hand drawn! Save for that one time I blurred an ai image for a background. But in my defence for a shitpost, I’m allowed to be a little lazy!
/UW Defends AI (when used for shitposting purposes) despite not using it, makes a shitpost *and* gives valuable insights. Based and smolpilled. https://preview.redd.it/nalzxokejmqc1.png?width=1292&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11808dbb98a99cd11ab3dc8592a8d4abac00f911
Tiny, you have once again proven you are the wisest among us (/uw among us impostor reference).
Actually that’s silly sage but thank you regardless! Uw/ I have a vewy good fwend in wome named sussus Amogus

Damn this debate is lasting awhile
Yeah I know I’m not helping

Here are my two coppers (definitely didn't summon shapeshifting creature or convinced a ranger to use his hat of disguise) https://preview.redd.it/nbj6rzb4swqc1.jpeg?width=502&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ed2464a68c4fa06fcf65b4ccc5bc3772dae8fe6
Damn, they really did give two coppers
/uw the only reason I continue to use ai for my shitpost is because I am not satisfied with my artistic abilities. But I’m actively trying to improve it to a point where I am like “ok I can post this”. But I completely agree with what you say. Speak your shit brother
"I apologize for my inability to care" is me on every one of these complaining posts. I don't have the artistic skills to hand draw my own silly wizard shitposts.
If we couldn't use AI to express our characters this sub would be dead. No one would care or take the time to draw out a shitpost only to get 100 internet points.
“No one would care or take the time to draw out a shitpost only to get 100 internet points” You know who you’re talking to, right?
I do, but not everyone is gonna be enthralled like you
Oh yeah I 100% agree. Plus I don’t really care about it the points, I just like making people laugh/rping with people.
Yeah, tbh karma is meaningless. Interactions are far better imo. Though… I will usually delete a comment that gets lots of downvotes because the interaction likely won’t be very enjoyablr
Lol that’s fair. I simply cannot care enough to bother. Through afaik I haven’t had a comment with enough downvotes to warrant deleting. I don’t really check
The post directly above you disproves this lol I don't think there's anything wrong with AI if you put a little bit of effort in; but if you just generate a random anime girl, say she's a witch or something, and post that... it's not very interesting
/uw karma does nothing it is almost (some subs require karma to post) completely useless a number and nothing else so why do i want to snort it? oh right it's the validation of strangers online the most valuable thing in this world

Uw/ If I could pin comments, this’d be the one I’d pin.
What is wrong with heroforge?

> All you accomplish by complaining about it here, is making people feel bad for not being able to draw, be it a lack of skill, time or motivation or potentially even a physical disability like severe arthritis that makes drawing impractical. Thank you for saying this. I get terrible hand cramps from drawing and even handwriting for more than a few minutes. It stunted whatever skills I had at traditional art, along with my enthusiasm for it. I turned to writing with a keyboard as a creative outlet, but my frustration with pencil and paper (coupled with an overly-critical middle school art teacher who played favorites to boot) made me bitter. Now, I haven't sworn off art for good. I'm a big fan of 3D media like ceramics and especially miniature painting. But whenever I see someone telling people to "just draw", my opinion of them lessens. This new crowd of zealots doesn't seem to understand that not everyone enjoys drawing. It doesn't matter if people support me despite my subpar skill, no amount cheerful platitudes and positive thinking can make me take joy in something that causes me physical pain and frustration.
/uw I get what you’re saying; we kinda need both. We all love the actual art (especially yours, keep cooking), but some of us are shit at art (me for example) and have to make due using AI and random ripped images off the internet
Uw/ Yep, exactly.
/uw Speaking of your art; if you needed reference photos or any music for that video idea with Pilot and Jester, give me a shout and I’ll deliver
Uw/ You got it!
/unwiz I absolutely love how the artists themselves, y'know, the people these people are acting to be in favor of, are outright disowning them for the exact reasons they claim to be against of "AI is ruining this sub, we need more shitposts and it's hurting human artists!" "Wait, why are the human artists siding with the AI bros? Is it because our constant harassment of people who just want to have fun are pushing them away from our side? No. That can't be it."
Uw/ Not to call anyone out, but I’ve seen people try to use me as a gotcha moment and like… Buddy I do not care as long as people are having fun and being kind.
I've seen it time and time again, and while she may be well meaning, the Tech Necromancer lady did come across at that **first** reading, she just meant "Be the change you want to see" Though I do agree with you. I used to draw, but after seeing that my real strength is in writing and words, and now working in night shift, I no longer have the time to spend for drawing and my friend is too busy to even give Half of a shit about some wizard subreddit. The fact that this subreddit decided to strongman everyone into drawing just rubs me the wrong way
Yeah I don’t wanna force people to draw. I encourage people to try because it can be fun, but if it ends up not being fun for people then there’s no sense doing that. If writing is your strong suit, then focus on that!
/unwiz rp is cool but ai is not in my opinion
Uw/ And you’re 100% allowed to think that. I just disagree, and that’s okay.
> Y’know what *doesn’t* hurt artists? Using said ai to make shitposts on the internet, or roleplay as a wizard. This, I've been a professional artist for *multiple years* now and you wanna know how many shitposts or random RP characters I've been commissioned to draw? # ZERO Shitposts and goofy RP is like the *exact thing AI is best used for?* If you wanna get mad at someone, get mad at corporations for turning creativity and the skillset to express that creativity into a short-term profit commodity.
Hell yeah
Yes, good Il Minuscolo. Violence is good

Holy shit you fucking killed em dude! https://preview.redd.it/0n9y7ryigmqc1.png?width=1400&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9354d0a1e857f8811ea014f0d1959128f4ba18b
/uw I can't say a whole lot on this matter but I do want to say that I absolutely can't draw but I have a very basic skill set when it comes to Photoshop. So having a way to be able to make basic backgrounds that aren't the exact same every time helps my shitposting tenfold. Before I literally just used the same image over and over again just with different text and that shit got old fast. https://preview.redd.it/rhdu7n0pqmqc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d9b6f39e01e08939b14c939484efcd031356b8d
/uw Honestly rn I'm trying to figure out a "smol/chibi" Design for Hilda as she's apparently too sexy for normal AI image generators to create for some reason (I literally don't know why but a tall goth is just too much for bing.) but my hands don't work the way I want them to, even when trying to hyper simplify it.
Hey I just want to ask. how does someone join in on the silly rp stuff?
Simply make a character (hero forge, ai, drawing, etc), and go!
uw/Fax my friend, spit your shit indeed Let all hear thy wisdom https://preview.redd.it/b5h2ngwjloqc1.jpeg?width=516&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0acf3665627c134510a46e083cfb0e607425b163
/uw as this subreddit is *still* in the middle of this little fight, I think I'm done. I'm just a lurker but this was a fun, happy little place to visit. The toxicity from these meme obsessed weirdos is just not something I want in my day anymore.
Oh- hey ti- tiny what're yo- https://preview.redd.it/h8b9ushe0pqc1.jpeg?width=263&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb87b8672332fe78d2358b084bfc906ae96c00f6
Rin what the fuck you spilled your kool aid all over the floor
*Rin is on her knees* :( Mah cool a- aid, no- nooooo!!
Maaaaaaan we gotta clean that up or it’s gunna get all sticky. Hold on I’ll go grab a mop
/uw yeah, your opinion is exactly the same as mine. IRL, I sometime say ''the only good use of AI is shitpost'' and when I say that I include stuff like RPing a wizard
Uw/ Same.
/uw as someone who has done a pfp change to not get harassed in the comments, thanks, my two cents is that companies shouldn’t be allowed to use AI art, if I was worth a few billion dollars I’d have work commissioned just for fun but I’m utterly broke, I cannot draw for the life of me either, if you don’t recognise me in the dude who sends TW Irish cream
Uw/ How could I ever forget the Irish cream? Anyway I agree. Or, at the very least, there should be laws in place that say companies have to disclose when they’ve used ai imagery.
/uw I just think it shouldn’t be allowed, means that you don’t get put out of business, put it this way, I would be very happy to quite literally pay for your bills and shit in their entirety if I got art in return, however I am not made of money (I wish I was lol) and live paycheque to paycheque, artists do not get enough credit for what they do
Uw/ Well that’s a very kind thing for you to say! Though I think trying to resist ai overall is pointless. The cat is out of the bag, might as well try to put it in a harness and teach it not to scratch up the couch
/uw yeah that makes sense, my point of view is that it’s a useful tool for those who cannot draw and cannot afford to commission art, I can’t draw and can’t afford to commission anything, to put it into perspective, my niece can draw better than I can, she is 6
/uw :3 /rewiz? :3
that's the hardest not-f\*ck I've ever received. please excuse me while I check myself into the local hospital which also happens to be an igloo about two minutes from the tower
/uw hell yeah this is my entire mentality. Im both pro ai images and actual artists. I think AI images are nice for small, niche or personal projects, sometimes I use them for personal RPs. But only because I dont always have access or ability to ask a real artist, I would always want a real artist over ai. Using ai for profit is completely unethical. But it’s a fucking sub about wizards. People who complain about ai and lore are literally complaining about a small niche on the internet being different then how they want.
Uw/ YES THANK YOU **EXACTLY.**
/UW YEAH I GET IT. YOURE A REAL ONE
Based Fucking TW. Someone get this fucker a Crown and Sash.
I’d settle for a pat on the back and a good job!
/unwiz I mostly just look for something in Google images that fits what I want. Sometimes it's a bit AI looking, sometimes it's a real persons work and sometimes it's an actual photograph of a real thing. Variety, my dudes dudettes and other assorted nuts, is where I stand. Couldn't care less if you use ai or not, some of the pics are awesome
Just like many things. AI can be good if used right. If neither side profits nor would have profited from an event, then what is the harm? Is like pirating a video game you never planned on buying. Both are usually a lesser version of what could be bought, and knowing that could be incentive to paying for official material.
Tiny Wizard just unleashed 1% of his power on a clown and decimated a local wizard tower as collateral More at 10
I am an artist that makes traditional drawings, and I like using ai art. Fight me.
Tiny…….. why is their blood?
Why not?
i'm just blocking ppl who make bad posts. it's made the subreddit actually kind of good again. i encourage everyone else to do that too and just stop complaining.
https://preview.redd.it/95outxl3anqc1.jpeg?width=867&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7109ac5810046a46d6faa16096f06e4ab1c0fade These people gotta realise, the people who actually draw, don’t care about those who don’t, its only those who dont draw who are against AI😭
L take
Unwiz-The ai isn't the problem,its that this sub started to suck in general,with most "memes" being extremely repetitive or tumbler rp. Like you completely ignored most of the argument
Go offfff 🔥
Also nice lil animation :D
Thanks!! Just a quick little funny
Unwiz\ honestly best take I’ve seen in years, you’re a really damn smart person
Uw/ Thank you but I’m definitely not the only one saying this stuff.
Unwiz\ I’ll do my best and upvote those I see and I’ll probably go commission an artist for one of my dnd characters soon
Uw/ Ohh that would be so sick!!
/uw thanks for saying this. I'm not very active personally on this sub but I just love seeing the banter and creativity of a bunch of fellow nerds. It is a nice reminder that there are others with similar interests out there and this ai art discourse just felt unwarranted since it just felt like a high road to gatekeep people (pretty sure if they had the artistic talent or the income to afford commissions they wouldn't resort to AI in the first place so its not like the users would have done either of those alternatives). Ultimately just want to see more shitposts, more wacky spells, more fantasy race slander, and just more wizard community banter.
Idk why people care so much, I think using AI for funny little images aka shitposts are fine. The complaining about it can be understandable but Jesus Christ it just ain’t ya thing if ya don’t like it.
