i like how they give annatar that stupid little bow on his head because it align perfectly with his need for perfection. sauron is vain. he care too much about his appearance, and the implication behind that bow means he put thoughts over his image and how other people perceive him. he wants to be seen as whimsical and welcoming, so there. a bow on his head that he personally braid with his own hands. "I am the personification of kindness :3 trust me please."

I don't think I fully know who I am. Truthfully, I didn't start to learn about myself until I was seventeen. I don't remember much about my childhood, my past. Blame the adhd. It's hard to actually figure out who I am because I'll never be a "functioning" adult, I can't drive I can't get a job, it's just all frustrating y'know? It makes me hate being disabled but I know that's also just a part of who I am.

One way to avoid AI from stealing your art jobs is to make your art as varied, diverse, expressive as possible. If your art is formulaic & focuses on the same type of subject, AI can break that down to a science & duplicate it. People like SamDoesArts, who is a popular professional artist who draws beautiful girls, or people who only draw yassified, smouldering webtoon-style kpop hotties, have styles that fall heavy victim to AI takeover. That's not an insult, it's a fact.
No matter how good your art is, if all the faces, style, color, composition looks similar; you have an exploitable formula. If you make money on your art, this is a bad thing for you! It's not fair that AI is using your work without permission for no pay. But this is our modern world, & it won't go away.
All we can do is focus on the power of what makes us human. Expressiveness, diversity of subject, ages & race; story & character-driven pieces, always trying something new... So far, AI (aka, the hack-jobs stealing art to put in a formula for free without permission; this is the fault of greedy nerds, not cute robots!!) cannot duplicate things like that so easy. If you're a pro, please consider that.
If you want to protect your work from AI algorithms, there's also the revolutionary (free!) GLAZE tool, which when added to your art, will destroy all data AI-bros try to extrapolate from your work. (More info on GLAZE here!)
If you really care about making art "accessible" to everyone, you must accept that it's only ethical with permission from the creators you want to use.
Artists are not soulless billionaires or Hollywood money-machines who are robbing you of the psuedo-socialist 'right' to have an anime-you profile pic. We are real people, living paycheck to paycheck, disabled, raising families, mentally going through everything you've struggled through, & more. It's not ethical to rob us of our expression & livelihood... AI-bros, if you won't pay us for our labor, you have no right to it. Any side of the political spectrum, capitalist pig to centrist sissy to commie scum, should agree with that.
The philosophy of "it's our right to use it, just get a real job" is the very philosophy that separates you from actual artists.
Technology is a wonderful thing. Start acting worthy of that wonder. Don't be a Skynet pawn. They won't spare you just because you taught them how to generate yassified kpop elf girls.
