Since we're all connoisseurs of the arts, of course we want to support REAL artists who put so much of their time, hearts and souls into their works.

...Is there actually an art to telling an AI generator what to create? While there are telltale signs that these images weren't made by a human (for some reason hands continue to be an issue), they do look very similar to what other artists have created. What exactly goes into the creation of these images? Just for shits and giggles, I went to an AI generator with the prompt "Anthropomorphic female black cat with a bob hairstyle, wearing glasses, and a pink, frilly apron in anime style", and the results were... less than stellar, let's call it. https://www.craiyon.com/image/Y6TWbwAoQaSbOnvLeyVAfQ
