being as ai art is fairly new, i felt at first unsure if it would be acceptable to be shared along with personally developed pieces. i think ai art can be very enjoyable. i see no reason why it shouldn't flourish and evolve from it's already amazing inception. that being said, it most definitely has a place of its own in this environment. i found it very relieving when every time i visited yande.re i didn't see the generic low resolution ai stuff all over the place. it is very disorientating viewing ai mingled together with real artwork, i've noticed.
appreciating well-done ai art is a great opportunity to reevaluate why we love real artwork in the first place, to value true skill and imagination. i'm instinctively critiquing every artwork i see everywhere to discern if it is ai or not, and so far it isn't terribly difficult to make the assumption. but it allows me to see the finer details, and to better respect an artists hard work.
but in the end, i hope yande.re can stay ai-free and solely for artists and their work, and it should still thrive for years to come.
thank you.
