And most of them center around creating in home accessibility tools for those with various medical complications.

Even outside of the school, so many local businesses and events use ai

We see a lot of issues with it locally and it aggravates me,because there are so many talented artists and photographers that would be more than happy to make promotional material :/

And it's a serious problem with event producers that they don't want to take a graphic design course or pay artists for posters when they can just plug a prompt into AI and get a free poster for their event

Sorry to come in hot and heavy, as an artist I find ai to be a tool to be rather destructive. I appreciate you learning from your mistakes, and I’m sorry once again

Did I fuck up and use the new shiney toy? Yes, but once I was educated on the icky, I didn't want anything to do with it, and I've been a very loud anti ai proponent since

To be clear: I'm saying that your most recent decision was the correct one.

Seeing how openly we can have honest discussions honestly makes my day. Thank you to every pup in here for listening with open ears and not being afraid to point out our mistakes 💕
I’m grateful to have a community that is so well versed in pushing one another to always be better 💪🏼

There are a few really specific good uses for AI, but these are so unbelievably rare and far between that they do not justify the rest of the terrible uses

BAY-PAH

UCI was the same. If I had a nickel for every AI-generated poster I saw on campus, I'd have a steady income stream

BAY-PAH

03 February 2026 20:31

And I've said several times on me your social platforms that if an event producer is using AI for their posters I will do their posters for free if it means they stop using AI

BAY-PAH

03 February 2026 20:30

You have nothing to apologize for. As an artist, you saw AI in my profile when I had made a statement that I am permanently against AI. You came in hot and angry. Does it look like hipocracy. And if you've noticed, I didn't direct anything at you, but instead to answer and clarify what had happened with those images.

Your response was entirely valid and justifiable given that there are so many people in the pup scene that will just recklessly use AI as a replacement for commissioning actual artists

My grandfather taught me: judge a man not by his mistakes, but instead by how he chooses to fix them.

When pup T:Mo ran some night owl drag posters through an ai check (which he shared with me) I immediately fired the "artist" who made the night owl drag posters and started producing the posters for the last few shows.

I also took an online graphic design class to start making my own event posters
