AI IMAGE WARNING
This image makes me mad on so many levels. Not just the fact that it's obvious AI, but the fact that it's a Eastern/lung dragon on a hoard. Like...hello???? Time for a dragon lesson!
Western/European dragons are your standard four legged/two winged beasts. Usually aggressive. They're the ones who collect hoards of treasure. Other hobbies include stealing livestock and kidnapping damsels.
Eastern/lung dragons (also known as the Chinese dragon) are benevolent creatures. They are symbols of good fortune, but not greed. They can control elements such as storms and rivers. They do not hoard, but often carry a single pearl (in some stories and traditions, this pearl doubles as an egg).
A lung would never be caught dead on a hoard like Smaug. Unless it's AI. Then all dragons are the same. Which I'm sure has wider cultural implications, since hoarding behavior is rooted in European tradition.
Also this was on Adobe's official stock photo site, which is pretty much all AI. So, uh, don't go there. Pirate Photoshop. Always morally correct. Etc. Etc.
