"It was not a thing done with machines or weapons. The Force is far more terrible, and it touches more lives than any machine can hope to slay. For every one that feels the Force, strongly, deeply, each one feels and perceives it in their own way. You have strengths, whether you know it or not. And my master has his. His power is great, and it comes from hunger. He is a wound in the Force, more presence than flesh, and in his wake, life dies... sacrificing itself to his hunger. And those who feel the Force strongly are beacons to his hunger. My people, my planet, would have been attacked in time, it was inevitable, yet we could do nothing about it."

For over ten years, I have commissioned talented, hard-working artists from around the world. It has been my pleasure to be a patron of the arts. During my tenure as a commissioner, I have learned from the artists and I value their labour. I never had the ability to render design to visual art except through photomanipulation collage. My own creations are inherently amateur and the craft I practice is that of a hobby only. It seems that other hobbyists such as myself have a penchant for vindictiveness within the art community. A lot of the "prompt stars" warring against real artists are thinly veiling the contempt they have always had for those with a talent that they lack - that I lack as well. Where I admire artists, these prompt stars loathe them, and it is all based in their own lack. A pathetic state of affairs and AI Art is not truly related to democratic values or technophilic zeal as many Wankensteins would have us believe. The debacle of AI Art is an outgrowth of the

I have noticed a horrifying trend in the past six months, both here at Deviantart and also at ArtStation. Real art is worse than it has ever been. Since 2010, I have followed over 5000 artists and viewed over one million pieces of art each year. I would like to think that I have become decent at analyzing visual art. AI generated art is looking so good sometimes - having a technical sheen and 'pureness' that almost no living human can re-produce. Perhaps, only a Warren Louw or Stanley Lau can really keep up with AI art. The real thing hindering AI art is the dilettantes creating it. Eventually, real engineers will take the work of those prompt stars and convert that data into the basis for a program that enables AI self-learning, and then the AI will create billions of images each day on their own and the machines will create only great looking images of the highest aesthetic quality. Prompt stars will be Finito Mussolini. But to my point... real artists are resisting AI as a

Deviantart was founded by a nice guy named Matt Stephens. The site was created for graphic designers, specifically for the sharing of skins for media players on MySpace and related social media sites. Matt had some partners and they allowed the site to expand its mandate until all the pro comic artists were here and many digital painters and illustrators, as well as photographers had joined the active community. However, Stephens and his partners sold the site. The new owners don't care about art and artists, and they are not artists themselves. They care about money. Almost all of the professional artists left this website starting in 2011 because amateurs were being very rude and presumptuous with the pros and it was intolerable and insulting to the pros. Deviantart owners did nothing to educate the amateurs on etiquette, decorum, and general appreciation of professional artists being in the community. The owners wanted to maximize their profits and they discovered that letting
