   @PhenomX6@fedi.pawlicker.com The first is that furries are highly influenced by each other, if you're an artist you'll get numerous autists copying you or wanting a character in your universe.Reminds me of what I saw when This Fursona Does Not Exist came out. For context, some furry trained an AI / ML model on head shots from e621. It was very impressive at making new fursonas, as well as anime catgirls and Sonic OCs (keep in mind this was during the COVID lockdowns, before the AI art boom of 2022), though the amount of art of certain characters did mean the model suffered from overfitting to an extent so you were seeing clones of certain characters like Renamon, Nick Wilde and Toriel. Also, forget about generating anything that's not canine or feline.
   
   Furries on Twitter got so fucking mad that they were trying to do all they get the furry who made it to stop (down to sending bogus DMCAs). You could see some parallels back then to the pant-shitting that's going on with AI art since late last year. Thankfully it didn't stop that furry and he made a new version that was a Colab notebook with sliders to make your perfect AI generated fursona.
   
   Someone who's not a furry, who was affiliated with the creator of TFDNE through a Dark Souls Discord server, did a pretty good writeup on r/HobbyDrama, and one comment he made is that furries are so generic and derivative that it's easy to point at any art and go "hey that looks like so-and-so!"
