Hi, are you the person behind the colonel-jeff-tracy RP blog? Their blog description kind of makes it sound like it's you, but I think it could just be crediting an old icon picture that you made them in 2019 that they aren't using anymore? They've recently started making AI art and since their blog description mentions your blog it may lead people to think it's you who's making the AI art. Hopefully that's not the case.
Apologies this is a lil' belated (though not as bad as it could be lol I don't often look at Tumblr at the moment...)
Uhhhh? I... don't know how anyone could look at that and think it was me? When it literally even says it's icon credit? (Which, yes, was an icon of art I made that's no longer in use it seems.) So uh. Yeah, no, that's not my account. lol
Let me be clear though: Generative AI? It's not art. It doesn't deserve to be called that, full stop. It's slop. It's plagiarism incarnate. As an artist, I have very strong feelings about this, to say the least.
That said... am I raising an eyebrow at being messaged like this? About an account that's pretty clearly not mine, especially if you took a few minutes to investigate a little? Yeah, sure am. Anon, I implore you, don't jump to conclusions. You could so easily cross a line into the realm of witch hunting with these sort of actions. False accusations towards real artists have been increasing as it is, which is just... cripes. I'm wishing every day for the AI bubble to burst, believe you, me... but chasing down people? ...Anon. Buddy. Please, don't do this sorta thing.
