We will just call him Incel Knight. Knight wasnt just any Anti-woke youtuber. He was a guy that reeks of wrath, envy, pride, and quite possibly lust. And he promoted AI not as some sort of tool, but as a way to put down LGBTQ+ Artists and furry artists.
And to add insult, he thinks that we artists "FREAKS"(tm) are in some sort of special club that gets pampered. Like somehow we are ultra rich and we can just get a job lickity split. In a world where AI is slowly making jobs obsolte, he expects us to get a job?
And Incel Knight said it all in the most smug, spiteful, and condecending elitits tone I have ever had the displeasure of listening to. I cannot tell if Incel Knight is truly blind to the dirrection of AI, or he said all of that just to mock us.
To drive home Incel Knight's spite and elitism, I will paraphrase his entire 13 minute video: "This AI, Generated this in about 30 seconds, Ten Toes down. Why should I pay $600 dollars (up front and at ripped off-delivery) when Grok 2.0 can deliver this in about 30 seconds for $30 bucks a month?"
And of course....I took it personally. Very Personally. I took the horse girl pic that was featured in Incel Knight's video and started drawing that horse girl out of spite. Not love. Not admiration of the idea. Not even a desire to turn concept into reality. Just spite.
But the character grew on me....I started to see different avenues and rethinked my approach to AI reworking. A lot of times, some AI prompters make this because they have a genuine idea but cant afford and artist. While others...Others are just spiteful.
Incel Knight was one of the spiteful bastards who uses AI in a smug tone just to stand superior to those he views as infeior, pampered "FREAKS"(tm). But in return, I became spiteful towards the guy. Sure you can say that spite can be a motivator.......
But don't forget, spite was the prime motivator for these medias. And they all SUCKED!! Not made with love and genuine humanity. Just purely spite against....whatever the author is focused his hatred on.
And like the stated medias above, Incel Knight made this pic out of pure spite against artists. I doubt he even loves the work he "Created" without the needs of us artist "FREAKS"(tm). So how am I different when I redrew his horse girl out of spite as well? I probably gave him free art.
I let a guy's fowl and repugnant...character get to me. I let Incel Knight get under my skin and he is gonna use that to pamper his mysogynist and prideful ego. I would not be surprised if he makes a video about me just to insult me. Or to say my art sucks and AI is better.
I am supposed to be better. Not an asshole. I am an honest follower of Mundy the Sniper's words:
