I didn't die, I'm still here, but I'm taking all my art away from a site that supports AI you can keep some cosplay, but the writing (yes even the fanfiction for more personal reasons), photography and art is gone. RIP to my comments. RIP to old discussions with friends. Hope you guys are doing okay, and I don't know if I'll ever post again, but I'm not deactivating. Also don't trust that your art hasn't been stolen by AI already. Just because all sites are saying you have an "opt out" option, doesn't mean your art wasn't stolen when this first started. There's also proof that dA's AI bot uses art made by DEAD ARTISTS. The dead cannot opt out. And again, your art, your photos, your writing, was already skimmed and potentially taken when the image generators first came out. They didn't ask, they just pulled from "public sites". This site was included. I know it's probably too late for my shit, and even though I as never a popular artist it still fucking sucks. But I'm removing it
