Dear Easter fans, I have a message to deliver to you all. I am very sorry for using AI for the art on the Easter Jam. I have learned a lot from you all and understand the negatives of AI. AI uses a lot of resources, mainly a ton of water. AI art takes work from artists without their permission to use as training to make a new image. I understand now that AI art is not allowed on PMC. However, I do not quit my AI life. I will continue to use it around once a month, but not to create images or anything. If I do, I will not post the art on PMC. I hope you all understand that I am truly sorry, that the Easter Jam art is restored, and that I will try not to use it again. Your true friend, PlanetZedna
We're not overreacting, AI image generation is horrible for the environment, and all the training data for these AI models is unethically sourced like, 99% of the time, so it's really, really bad for artists. Along with this, AI image generation is frequently used for fraudulent purposes such as making deepfakes. Look into the grok deepfake issues for more details on that.
AI image generation is bad. So much worse than just googling images instead.
