>>85892Maybe I'm just a purist, but I just think A.I. is lame. Admittedly, its better than it was 2 years ago when it was just shitting out eldritch abominations, but I can't help but feel like, even when it's just "A.i. assisted" it's just a circlejerk of people pretending they're better artists than they actually are.
Maybe I'm just a boomer, but if it's a.i., you didn't make it.

And some of Itaneto's a.i. stuff does indeed seem to be regular sketches that were spruced up by A.i. but some of them are clearly just almost entirely A.i. with maybe only a reference image being used to make it look better. And even the ones that are just assisted still leave a lot to be desired, cos its clear that the artist is only putting the bare minimum in for the a.i. to make a unqiue generation (The rolls look very messy and incoherant at times). The fat face generations you can literally see the a.i. generator buckle and not know wtf to do for the larger sizes, because the artist has literally not drawn that large before.
.
Maybe this level of psychoanalysing is schizo-ish, but I think it's possible the artist has fallen into the trap many others in the community have, and a.i. has only made the choice all the more appealing. And thats just wanting to do horny stuff through the road of least resistance. Even their pixiv banner shows two dialogue VN options: "Clean" or "Masterbate in bathroom" with the masterbate option being highlighted. Schizo thing to analyse, I know, but still, cleaning takes effort, and rewards little pleasure, where as masterbating takes no effort, but provides guaranteed pleasure. Why do work when you can masterbate? Why spend a few hours drawing a new pic, when you can pump your old pics through a generator and create a barely unique new pic with not even half the effort?

Tldr: I just think it's lame
