Epic/ArtStation prioritized "AI" over artists. I no longer update here.

I don't agree with ArtStation's response to A.I.-generated content. As both artist and art director, I'm only here for human-made art. Although there's now a #noAI tag and updates to policy, it came only after a lawsuit and at the cost of hundreds of hours of work by artists who make this place worth visiting. So I'm out.
