Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

The silver lining is that the swift fan backlash, even the very unconvincing attempt at denial, are further evidence of how "AI" "art" has firmly established itself as synonymous with bad/lazy/inadequate/cheating the public. Which means actual artists are far from obsolete, If you can draw for real you'll be in demand whenever someone wants actual quality in anything.
Since we're never getting Winds of Winter anyway and they'll have to keep cashing on calendars and guides and new illustrated editions, hopefully the backlash was big enough that they learned their lesson and will pay for actual art next time.
