Tl;dr: AI image generators suck and so do all the major 'art' platforms. I’m trading the loathsome ArtStation, Twitter, and Instagram for Pillowfort, Artfol, and Inkblot. (And looking for other suggestions on galleries to try! Tell me where you guys are at!) I’m struggling to detach myself from long-time online home deviantArt, but I think morally and for our own good we should probably all gtfo from this place sooner than later. An actual lawsuit has finally been leveled at dA (for DreamUp, as part of a larger suit over Stable Diffusion) and I have some dumb hope it will spook sense into this site. This is a long read, don't feel obligated. Like many of us, I've been working through a lot of things lately and writing helps me get my thoughts in order. If AI and the sorry state of art sites have been on your mind, maybe it will help you too. — So.

I've been browsing deviantart lately after a long absence and noticed around 80% of th art i see here is AI art. Then i go to the comment section and i see Ai generated comment responses i can use, i scroll down and i see some people have actually used some of them. So a machine generates art and a machine comments on it. How ironic is that? 8 out of 10 new deviants sugested are AI prompters. It gives me the feeling that there is no longer a place for human art here. It's quite lonely coming here seeing everything machine made, almost like i am in the matrix or some alternate universe governed by machines. From the people i watch i see many journals of people leaving for other sites and i am sure many left but did not make a journal about it. When i joined, it was the human interaction that made me want to come back again and again and ultimately become a better artist. I am thinking of the new artists who just begun their journey how this feels for them right now. If anyone wants
