>>18515955unironically i'd say AI is a major contributor to the normalgod art community becoming less toxic. back then they would shitfling at you for making a minor anatomical mistake, there'd be a sort of culture where you'd always be comparing yourself to the level of like the magic the gathering 20+ year professional artists, or you'd have idiot customers being bratty when asking for a commission. but now those who would've been rude begging a real artist are asking AI now, and now the art space is so desperate for people to pick up the pencil that they're just begging people to make human art and post it again even if you're a baby noob at it
