They aren't victims, guys. "They've been doing this at a loss, for free, for 25 years!" Yes, and for 20+ of those years, they got by just fine without using AI, because IT WASN'T A THING. They came up with creative solutions to their promotional needs. It's not about money - it's about values.
Alioth Fox (next con: Carolina FurFare)Another furry org caught using promotional AI (the Pawpet Show this time). Another furry org making the same tired “we can’t afford artists :c” excuses. It should not be that hard to apologize for using AI in a community of artists. It should be EVEN EASIER to just not use it in the first place.
