What's crazy is you're starting to see an overreaction to this fact as well.

The other day I posted a short showcasing some artwork I made for a TCG I'm in the process of creating.

Comments poured in saying it was "doomed to fail" because it was just "AI slop"

In the video itself I explained how I made them, in Adobe Illustrator (even showing some of the layers, elements, etc).

Next I'm actually posting a recording of me making a character from start to finish, a timelapse.

Will be interesting if I get any more "AI slop" comments, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to share anything drawn now because people immediately assume it's generated.
