  • Still waiting

    Still waiting

    This is a site about art and it’s execution, make that a priority. AI (really Machine Learning) skips the execution stage making it or relive any to this platform. Not to mention the art theft.

  • Onwards

    Onwards

    Artstation has only goten worse and more hostile to their user base. Extremly disapointing to watch a site I once loved beign a part of come out with moderation attacks against their users instead of tightening up their policys on AI.

  • Resling Art Theft is Fu**ed

  • How are you still messing this up?

    How are you still messing this up?

    It’s common sence, the stealing should not be the default… how did you mess that up?

  • Smarten up, no AI here please

    Smarten up, no AI here please

    Artstation is for skilled artists, the important thing in means and methods for digital art. AI skips the means and methods, so should not be on artstation. Also, it’s art theft for friks sake. Having this is bad, having it in the market place increases liability for everyone who uses the marketplace.
