To all those artists that want to force me to buy their artworks:

Generally people buy what they like and what they want, so please don't be annoying. Personally if I saw your art style and liked it, I'd commission you myself.

You know what's absolutely fascinating about this entire controversy?

I spent thousands of dollars supporting artists. Some took my money and never delivered. I talked about it publicly, and suddenly I'm the villain because I used AI to finish my projects.

But here's the part that really gets me.

I've had artists tell me I deserved to be scammed. I've had people insist my experiences are fictional. I've even had people argue that I should have continued supporting artists rather than finding another way to create.

And somehow, all of that is supposed to convince me to stop using AI? 😂

Meanwhile, some genuinely wonderful artists have stepped forward, shared their professionalism, and reminded me exactly why I still commission human artwork.

So here's a question I'd genuinely love both sides to answer.

If you want people to support human artists instead of using AI, what are you doing to make commissioning a better experience?

I'm talking about trust, communication, accountability, reasonable expectations, and treating customers like people.

Because shouting "SUPPORT REAL ARTISTS" is easy.

Earning someone's confidence takes work.

And before anyone gets creative with my words, I am not attacking artists. I'm asking a question that every profession accepting customers should be willing to answer.

If your goal is to bring people back to human creativity, shouldn't you be building bridges instead of burning them?

I hope artists earn as much as they can, but we can’t ignore the fact that prices are globalized, dependent on the artist’s popularity, and adjusted mainly for the American market.

[Maraxoni @Maraxoni]

Generally speaking, I hate AI art because it’s not creative at all and it looks ugly, but to claim that artists aren’t part of the problem in this latest discussion is completely ignoring the issue.

[Maraxoni @Maraxoni]

The biggest defenders of dishonest artists are usually people from the United States or the United Kingdom who commission several artworks per year and for whom losing $100 or even $200 isn't that big of a deal.

@Shibuyaris In the MLP community, I’ve commissioned probably over 100 artists, of those only maybe 3 actually screwed me over (never delivered, vanished from the internet, or ghosted me)

Some of the most reliable artists I’ve commissioned💚:

🎨A lil thread showing appreciation to some of the many ✨wonderful and kind✨ artists in the pony fandom - to counter the negativity in the art community lately 🥺💚

[Mistress Bubblicious @BubblegumDrgn]

Glad this post blew up.

I've been in the fandom for 20+ years and have been screwed out of probably $300 a year in art commissions + the down payment on a fursuit once.

There are literally like 3 artists I'd ever trust to do their job.

I don't care if makes me villain.

[Engineerisaac🦊 @Engineerisaac]

“Support real artists! Don’t use AI!”

I DID. I spent THOUSANDS commissioning artists who took my money, ghosted me for months, and spent their time pumping out adoptables and YCHs instead of delivering my artwork.

So I used AI to finish what they wouldn't.

Now other artists refuse my money because I've used AI.

You told me to support artists. I DID. You took my money, wasted my time, and now shame me for finding an alternative.

You're not fighting AI. You're driving paying customers straight into its arms.

[INSERT PROFILE NOTE HERE! @reinoe]

Who killed art? Artists.

And the artists complaining the most about A.I.? They're the ones who are the hardest to work with or are the most unreliable.

You get a couple bad experiences and then you relish the idea of using A.I. over an artist with an unprofessional attitude.

Full-time artists will finish one commission per month and then complain about having a hard financial situation.
