Be better, art bro...

I made a silly post yesterday about how, on a specific art sub, an artist was praised for learning to draw by tracing an original image; which, funnily enough, is somewhat similar to what AI tools do. I had nothing against the painter. She did a great job. What amused me was the overwhelming support she got from that subreddit and how hypocritical it felt.

Not long after, I got a message from someone who was quite offended. To the point where he felt the need to personally confront me, the "AI chud bro." I replied briefly and left it at that.

Then, the 'arthist' came back tonight, demanding that I reply to his "points" (which, honestly, I didn’t find all that rational in the first place). The more I think about it, the more I realize my issue isn’t with real artists... It's with the Reddit ones.
