Right, I'm gonna need to vent for a bit here regarding a lot of crap I and many others have been seeing on Deviantart and other websites, that being A/I generated images.

The websites are getting absolutely flooded by these images, with some profiles having several thousands of these in their galleries, and I absolutely HATE it.

You can't do searches on anything these days without getting results that put these A/I generated images as the top results, which is extremely detrimental for actual artists that are trying to find references for something they're planning on drawing, not to mention the fact that these images look so generic, they all look the same and pretty much all the time have glaring issues such as weird limbs, eyes and more.

Then there's also the fact that there are those who take money for this kind of nonsense, which is just bloody appalling in my opinion as those images were done by an algorithm and not an actual person.

This isn't art at all in my opinion, actual artwork is something that takes time to do along with what I mentioned above that it's done by an actual person and it's very often about the journey for many of these actual artists as they develop their skills and find a unique style for their art.

It has gotten way too out of hand now with this rubbish, especially after Deviantart has basically openly advertised A/I generated images, which goes against in my opinion what the website is supposed to be about.

I'm honestly just so bloody sick of this nonsense....

And so 2023 has come to an end, happy new year!

Let's hope this one will be better.

Good grief, this year sure flew by quickly, didn't it?

Haven't happened much today during Christmas Eve for me, just been at home and taking it easy, no Christmas gifts yet.

But otherwise it hasn't been too bad.

And so it was time for my birthday again, took it easy today, gonna be some celebrations tomorrow, so that'll be nice. :)

2022 sure flew by quickly, but it was certainly a strange one while it lasted as well as an honestly terrifying one with what's going on in Ukraine.

Here's hoping that 2023 might be the turning point with things getting better from here on out.

But happy new year anyway!
