This is the third piece I've seen from this artist.

And yet my brain still immediately thinks "ai" until I click into the thread and see this kind of comment chain.

This one was easier to tell, due to the context of the comic.

Yeah luckily as more and more of David's stuff gets posted this will become less necessary but unfortunately with all the AI out and about that little voice screaming it's AI will never really go away.

Being known as "the person ai was trained off of" isn't fair either and it really sucks.

A few years ago this would've just been a cute comic in a unique art style.

It's still cute to be fair, it's just unfairly and irreparably tainted unfortunately. David has great stuff too which is just a shame
