@Sloartist_Raven's post on Artfol

[Rant]
Just learned that apparently a site now exists, which steals people's OCs (even those from published stories) and then uses them to generate endless AI slop of those OCs specifically ... Just when I think that this whole AI theft cannot possibly sink any lower, it does. 💀 And the irony of it is that everything on that site is stolen, since that's clearly the sole purpose of that site and how it operates - like any other AI's - and yet in order to get them to take down your stolen stuff, you need to first "prove" that it is stolen (when literally everything there is stolen) and possibly even lawy€r up. 💸 No words. Absolutely none for these shameless people ... (But god forbid that any other AI user uses the exact same prompts/words to "generate" the exact same thing as another AI user - now THAT's "actual" theft right there! You don't steal words from MY dictionary! 👺 /s)

I'm honestly tempted to just start plastering annoying ass watermarks all over every single artwork that I post now (along with my new annoying signature), because this (the absolute insane, unlimited theft by the scummy tech/$cam bros) is genuinely getting beyond insane. The usual art thieves, who were trying to sell my own art on various sites in the past (and perhaps some even still do), were already more than enough ... Heck, I'm even considering using Nightshade now, even tho it completely butchers the artwork even on the lowest settings. 😭💔 It's honestly getting harder and harder to bring myself to draw, cuz of this insane depression ... Art used to help me greatly with it, but now when all I do is wonder if this next piece that I'm working on is just gonna get insta scrapped by AI while I'm drawing, it's honestly been making it more and more difficult to even pick up a pencil/pen (and lord knows what's been happening with my books in the meantime as well, since nothing whatsoever is safe from this insane company greed called the A"I"). 😔

(On a side note, I only have ~50 pages left to re-read of my new Ravenheart book 12, so I should be posting the updated book files with some more typo n stuff fixes on Gumroad and Kobo in a day or two - I'll post another update on that when I do, and then I'll finally slowly return back to drawing. 👍 /p.s. sry for the rant, just had to get it off my chest a little ;-; and idk when my OC Lavan 🐟 took over my Artfol account, but hopefully I'll eventually replace my pfp here with a better, new drawing of my personal avatar Raven - tho I did start falling in love with Lavan just a tiny bit, so he may stick around for a while in my pfp and the banner :'>)
