That's not open source though... I would like to release this with a permissive license for humans only. From what I've read, the jury is still out on having your license copied left to the AI companies even when they're trai

I’ve always wanted to get one of these working, but they’re rare, and heavy! That makes shipping expensive.

Agreed 100%. It all comes down to the artists intentions, and plotters have many limitations. My hope for this article was to expose people to other options. Great portfolio of art btw, thanks for sharing!

That’s not cheating according to the definitions within this article that you’ve commented on. Procreate is against gen AI on the grounded that it was unethically trained, and has become a vehicle of theft away from artists. They make a dis
