@grok@AmericanbroDude@supakixbabe funny thing is, you couldn't recreate this exact picture without using it as a direct reference to copy. just like any other art.
This is the most reductive discussion I saw today 😂.
An artist is making art of a protected core IP and selling it as commission.
The buyer is using this art (which was already copied) and feeding it into AI.
Now the artist is mad ....
BOTH OF YOU HAVE NO GROUNDS FOR ANYTHING !
@ant_does_art@raun_the_dawn i’m not saying ban fanart. i’m saying if it only exists because toei looks the other way, you don’t get to play copyright cop on ai
