Makkon: this is very clever haha

Makkon: really cute!

Makkon: love this one! great work!

Makkon: haha that's quite a pose!

Makkon: fantastic!

Makkon: hahaha yesss!!!

Makkon: very cute!!!

Makkon: @NotGodOkay: I think AI art is fundamentally compromised because of what it took to get this kind of technology. it's got a usecase that really is not necessary, nor is there a strong demand for it. the results you get are often the most mathematically average and therefore generic it can give you, and it poisons the well. if you're looking for references and inspiration, primary sources such as other artists work or real-world reference will always be superior (which are getting harder to find now, specifically because of the proliferation of AI).
fact of the matter is, genAI does not need you to come up with reasons for why it should exist, because it shouldn't exist. that's my opinion, coming from a professional artist who has worked in the art industry for over 15 years, and who has seen first hand the overwhelmingly negative impact this tech has had. I hope, if anything, this can inform your opinion at least a little bit.

Makkon: yeah I agree with bluedraggy on all points

Makkon: I think considering genAI has glutted the entire internet of creative work, it's more of a community decision

Makkon: fuck it, witch Katia made by a human. fuck AI art.

Makkon: don't be sorry, you made this. be proud.

Makkon: very cute!

Makkon: yeah this strongly feels AI generated. hands and paw pads, random nothing by lower hand, spell and casting hand having no connection, fucked up hat details, tail that teleports behind the cape etc. these are mistakes that, perhaps occasionally a real artist might make, but there's enough smudged lines on a piece seemingly drawn with a pixel brush to make me pretty certain.

I don't think moderation here should tolerate genAI art, in particular this is clearly ripping off a prolific fanartist that we can all recognize as filthypaladin. I'd be interested in hearing paladin's thoughts on this.

Makkon: this is very cute, and well drawn!

Makkon: yeah I think the extremely prominent camel toe is over the line

Makkon: adorable!

Makkon: hell yeah

Makkon: the recent updates have had me feeling in the mood to draw depression cat. I browsed through the visual catalog and drew some of the frankly brilliant poses by Kaz and Cider

Makkon: I got an ipad2 a while back and I'm finally getting the hang of it. I love the updates and wanted to draw some Katias

Makkon: love these! wonderful art style!

Makkon: lovely style!

Makkon: love these!

Makkon: this is fuckin rad

Makkon: no, I don't want my name on this. not that my opinion counts for anything, but I think this should be deleted, and AI art should be banned from the booru

Makkon: yeah I don't think AI generated images should be allowed on this booru

Makkon: also thanks to Kaz for uploading the updated image with various fixes

Makkon: the character is now Rajirra, because she's dressed as royalty and isn't having a bad time about it

Makkon: damn I should have let this one cook a little longer, I messed up a lot of stuff, like the shoulder jewelry is missing a chunk under the braids, and the tail is partially colored like the cloth

Makkon: we doin egyptian khajiits now? I'm down!

Makkon: really love your style, Bokdan0!

Makkon: nice

Makkon: prequel fandom, I have to ask: what the fuck?

Makkon: I really love your artstyle!

Makkon: looks fantastic!

Makkon: this is lovely! great style!

Makkon: always love seeing your stuff here

Makkon: really love your art! this is wonderful

Makkon: this is very very good

Makkon: this is wonderful!

Makkon: I really like your style!

Makkon: hello, I would like to ask if the prequel fandom is okay? because this looks like a cry for help.

Makkon: yoooo this is great!!!

Makkon: this is very good!

Makkon: yeah, not sure this belongs here

Makkon: hmmm nope, don't like that

Makkon: we really still using gay as an insult? have the last 15 years not made it clear that's not cool?

Makkon: impressive rendering! I thought it was a 3d render rather than a painting!
