AI art is the latest tech bro disruption of a market, destroying actual value for those involved and sending money to the idle rich. It's built upon the stolen works of others which they use to train their algorithms, and then they charge non-artists for the privilege of using their products. And no one will take action until the market for mid-tier artists is destroyed.

I hate the framing of breast implants as “fake” or opposed to “natural” boobs. I want positive words for both. I’m going with boobs that are “homegrown” or “modern marvels.”
