[QUOTE="Anon Adderlan, post: 9369075, member: 53053"] So the convention I'm involved with recently declared all AI art to be bootlegs and that they will ban anyone on site for even promoting it. I of course brought up that by declaring a moral position as opposed to just a policy they were feeding into an ongoing conflict which was only harming artists. one week later... [MEDIA=twitter]1798156960443044092[/MEDIA] And here's an interview with [URL='https://www.patreon.com/kamranpasha']Kamran Pasha[/URL], who is a member of The Writers Guild and virulently Anti-AI. Yet he both stated and clarified that it wasn't AI which cost writers jobs, but the actions of the guild itself. So much for unions benefitting their members.
