   @Suzu I've thought about this technicality before, but honestly the reality is about the same as piracy. The vast majority of people who use generative AI were never going to commission an artist, they don't have the money, know the people, or have something they'd want drawn that badly anyways.
   I think more people getting into using AI is like how people end up liking characters they make in a character creator or for a tabletop game, it's only after they made it that they'd want a real artist to draw it. This elitism is coming from absolute retards, art is expensive, and well it tends to have decent enough reason to be, the average AI user was never spending that money on art to begin with.
   I personally have experience with this too, as I didn't really have ideas of OCs or anything I wanted to make until I actually started messing around with some early and silly AI tools. Sure, this image is low quality and from the very early generative AI stuff, but it got me that motivation to want to think about this girl more and led to installing COM3D2 just to think up more about her. I'm even thinking of saving up some money now that I have all these ideas floating around in my head to actually commission an artist for a good, proper, not limited by a game character creator or AI design.
