Artstation should be a platform for humans that make art, not a platform for machine algorithims that rely on that human art to mimic it.
I know Epic purchased Artstaion to promote their Unreal Engine and it's family of tools. I know Epic plans on including AI in future Unreal tools. so I am posting this protest in solidarity with my fellow artists, and in hopes of opening a dialogue with Epic and the moderators of Artstion:
If you will not ban AI images from this site, at least remove them from the front page where it disrespects the artist it uses. If you must give AI images a platform here, give it it's own isolated category that must be navigated to.
Ai is here to stay, in more aspects than just art. We must approach it with thoughtful and open dialogue, and not shy away from it's potential consequences.
