>To go after fanart would be shooting themselves in the foot and throwing away an invaluable industry tool. Meanwhile getting rid of AI gens would only be a benefit to everyone, barring Indian grifters and the AI companies peddling this shit.
Naw you're just a hypocritical bastard. AI will always exist. Cope.
