Imagine this, a creator started their career with minimal funds, they kick off with using AI for thumbnail on videos that are not yet generating revenue.
The Creators is gaining popularity and wish to move away from AI and pay artists for thumbnails because now they can afford it.
What's the reaction from the Anti-Ai crowd?
I said it once, and I will say it again. Anti-Ai crowd at this moment is the most damaging group to Artists, because their behavior is despicable, it pushes Normal People away from Artists with their hate and clamps on their eyes. Not only that, it's the same crowd that attacks Hard Working Artists and calls them AI users because they think they see Ai in it.
I have used AI in thumbnails, yes. But I am trying to move toward using real commissioned art. That should be seen as supporting artists, not as a reason to blacklist me from commissioning them.
