Love it when some piece of shit steals a design I took two weeks drawing and AI-alters the faces to look like shit and then puts it on Etsy

Fuck's sake, seriously. Anyway, if you want a real one, fill your boots. Off for a cry. What a shit week. noscoredraws.com/collections/...

Absolutely fucking demoralising. What's the fucking point putting effort in to anything *ever* when some cunt will just cannibalise it? Kill it, eat it, shit it out and charge for it. Gen-AI has made this kind of shit a piece of piss. FUCK OFF.

If you fancy reporting the offending listing, you'd be doing us a solid. Love you. x www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

In an absolutely massive case of gaslighting, they've blocked me!

....

Just ordered immediately, as a direct result of this exchange. Fucking hell.

I wonder if they used AI to write the "denial"

Similar (and sorry I've already ordered a different wall chart or I'd get yours to go with some other questionable artwork of yours already on display here).

And also blocked so I can't reply. Sorry you're having to deal with this Sian and Alex.

Cheers Anne. Anger wearing off now, but just sucks that this is so clearly the way The Future is going :(

The lesson here is never go on the internet bsky.app/profile/dave...

This thread seems to have breached containment now which raises the tantalising possibility of people who have never seen our drawings seeing it and having to work out which is the version they should be angry at

Report here. www.etsy.com/uk/ipreporting

I hadn’t heard of you until this thread appeared on my timeline. I have subsequently bought one of your awesome wall charts and reported the scamming scum. Best of luck to you.

IT'S GONE!!! 🥳 The AI grifters are easily startled, but they will soon be back. And in greater numbers. Thanks everyone who reported the scumbag in question. A teeny tiny win for real (albeit wonky) art. LOVE YOU x
