Once a vibrant platform for artists, DeviantArt is now buckling under the weight of bots and greed—and spurning the creative community that made it great.

    Most serious artists have switched to using ArtStation and/or Instagram a long time ago, not because of AI, but because of the weird stuff on DeviantArt.

    This article also misrepresented Andersen v. Stability AI, you can read the judge’s opinion here:

    https://admin.bakerlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ECF-117-Order-on-Motion-to-Dismiss.pdf

    But basically, the judge’s opinion was scathing and dismissed all but one of the plaintiffs’ claims.

    There is a very good reason you can’t copyright artistic styles.

      The weird stuff on deviant art is still better than people who direct link PDF files at law firm websites.

          You get a pass for being the local Android crazed Margot Robbie.
