My art has been stolen
2 months ago
General
It's hardly the first time, but this time it was someone who also used AI art tools to make it.
This offends me greatly, not least because I have very specific biases against AI, but also because it was completely unnecessary. Since I might have given permission to mess around with my art if they had asked. But they did this without my permission and that really makes me irritated.
I will be considering taking action against this person, who I will not name, but they know who they are and are following me. So just let it be known that if you do not remove any art originally drawn by me, I will indeed seek action.
That'll be all.
EDIT: Because some person decided to ask why I didn't post proof, it's because I don't want to risk violating TOS. I do have proof, but I hope I do not have to post it, since the point of NOT naming them was very deliberate. I know who they are, I know they are watching me and I don't want anyone going any harassing the person on my behalf. I want them to see it and know I know so they can do the right thing and get rid of the offending pic.
I do not want to have to take real administrative action if I don't have to.

Once I have made my point clear, I will be hiding the link, but hopefully nobody will take the opportunity to do. I'd like to hope I'm not popular enough to spark such harassment campaigns.
I hope this person can get the image removed, specially after you publishing about your discomfort.
Even if used as a tool, it would have been nice to have been asked first, I understand that completely, since then you can just say 'no, I'd rather not have my work be attached to any form of AI'. Hopefully this individual will be held accountable for their theft.
