I constantly see people trying to get commissions here making blog entrys and keep improving their artistic style just to miserable fail at getting any chance, then this AI is taking aways this opportunitys so it feel really disrecpectful for the rest of artist that the guy who only use AI (And a very bad one) is getting works that true people could get instead
This will only cause that less artist join this place on first place if they see AI is taking the commissions, there are only a few active artist still on Whentai and I dont think is a good idea to lose potential artist just to protect a guy who doenst make an effort to draw and even the current artists could lose interest on keep trying if that become more common, today is one but that open the posibbilities to more AI appear eventually and will end keeping away people from using Whentai
Whentai is quite a small site and is far yet from recover from the crisis it have 2 years ago, this will only perjudicate this place to a irreparable state if you allow the AI to take the spot rather than valorate the true artists that still work here
When I joined 10 years ago I was rejected as an artist in a few occassions before finally get my artists status and I even remember a guy who contacted me in PM (Not sure why me) that was hoping to get his artist status, he actually neved did it and he left, why there are so many AI that blatantly get artist status this days?
I pretty sure and hope that more artist will show their support in this case, so admins please remove this artist status of Zioart and have a better quality filter when it comes to accept artist, this is the kind of things that damage the image of this place, fight for what is right
