But please. Please. Source the art you post places if it’s not art you made. Take five seconds to say who the artist is. We’re already being battered by AI shit and theft all the time, taking the half a blink it takes to go “look at this art, it’s by so and so” or posting a link to the original, it’s a genuinely kind thing to do, and it makes life easier. If you like what artists do, give us the benefit of that little… dollop of attribution. Please.
As someone who posts a fair amount of art and puts in a lot of extra work to cite it appropriately, I have been horrified by the way in which search engines have become rife with both GenAI slop and misinformation. Every artist you've ever liked, whether alive or already dead (maybe especially if already dead), needs your help if you want even one more person to know about what they made and to be as affected by it as you were.
