it appears 2024 will continue the trend of art companies proudly representing themselves with the use of art theft generators [aka, AI generators]
original tweet is now deleted, but wacom used a generated image of a dragon for their 2024 lunar new year promo on twitter.
if you're shopping for art tablets, huion, artisul, and XPPen tablets do just as good a job as their wacom equivalents for less, sometimes even half the price.
when you buy a wacom you're paying almost exclusively for the Brand Name, not any actual quality.
Seeing people recommend HUION as a Wacom alternative in light of Wacom using AI for advertising, only for HUION to immediately start selling AI shit too, should be a good reminder for you all that "ethical companies" do not exist, ethics are incompatible with capitalism's goals; maximizing profits and cutting costs will ALWAYS be their number one priority, they don't give a flying fuck about you, or your morals, or your ethics, or your job, or your livelihood, the only thing currently installed in the system stopping them from selling your mom into slavery is the threat that is government regulations.
