What is much more dangerous is not the ai slop we can see or recognise, but how easy it is to pull off good artwork using theft + ai. You are now seeing on a massive scale people taking images of other original artists, usually small unknown artists and then feeding that image through and prompting on top of that. Then claiming it as your own. I now fully realise I cannot trust anything without further looking into someone and their methods.
