I love AI but ...

In January I made a radical decision and decide to stop producing anime style images. I'm not proud of it but I was doing it to get views, despite the fact it made absolutely no sense with the rest of my universe.

So that's it, I assume I can be a dark person, and that this is easier to express using AI. Besides that, I saved something like 50 Gb on my hard drive, and that is something too.

I'm a bit disappointed though, in myself and in people. Man, just check civitai, the self-claimed (but true really) home of open-source generative ai. It is mostly jokes, sex and anime.

I'm still very much addict to black and white drawings, and especially Gou Tanabe and Junji Ito, two mangakas I adore, so from time to time an image like the following will pop.
