the reality hasn't changed much desu, other than annoying ai spam and larger number niche fetish drawings. i guess a lot of people want to be artists for a living, not just for fun, the mere existence of a highly compitent at art ai is just super discouraging, and artists have always been a mentally unstable bunch. personally it doesn't bother me much (outside of trash spam that i hate seeing.) i draw for fun not for money, and already know how to draw so it really doesn't affect me. not caring is my natural disposition too, my friend that cares a lot about ai is having symptoms of mild depression because of it.
