Hey haven't made a rant like this in a while but I wanna talk about this cause I haven't seen anyone talk about this
The TNMN fandom has a generative ai problem
There's lots of ai mobile copies of the game, popular youtubers in the fandom using ai for their thumbnails, and I even see ai content of the game on social media
A few months ago I was looking through the Henry tag and I saw a post that was images of the characters in a hyper realistic style, it was very obviously ai, but luckily it didn't have much likes or comments, and I can't find the post
But there's also a popular "artist" here that my mutuals seem to like and their art is clearly ai or traced ai, you can see the yellow stains, the messy details like hands, arms and hair, and I'm not gonna say who it is for now, but my mutuals are always reblogging their art and supporting them (they're also super crazy about Francis so that's fitting)
So can we push ai out of this fandom and learn the difference between human art and ai? It practically goes against everything the game stands for
