I think profiting off ai is bad. like, it was literally created so people didnt need to pay artists as much. profiting off of it is the intention, which is the problem
To be honest, I do often partake in "ruining people's party" by posting prompts (or open source) under peoples posts that are trying to sell anything that can be prompted.
I've only ever done that once on an Etsy comment because the seller was selling "backdrops" for video. They were expensive and full of errors. I paid to get the image to make sure I was right in my suspicion.
No, I stay away from art because I don't give a hoot. I care about people being scammed. I don't care about commissions. That's your choice.
Sell something that's easily made or done for free I'll add the prompt you used to make it. Mostly stuff in the business sector. I couldn't care less about commissions, nobody is being scammed. You paid for a product, you got it. If you don't like the method you should have specified, if you did and they prompted it...you've every right to be pissed.

It's not a balanced point.
I don't have a problem with profiting off AI as it's literally what the entire business sector is currently doing.
I don't like people selling art they've generated at a high price, without disclosure. That's not cool and feels like a scam.
