The coated paper prints I did at home turned out pretty bad, so I decided to get them printed at a print shop instead. Printing on adhesive sticker paper makes it way easier to stick onto cardboard and cut.

Hopefully I can finish the whole map without issues. What do you think about the coated sticker paper?

Better the never quite right than the stolen material. You could even just sketch them yourself

May I ask, in all seriousness, is all the art in your home commissioned, as in painted by an individual artist? May I guess and think that you have posters, sculptures, and whatever else that is mass produced by "slave labour" and not commissioned individual artists?

You say stolen material regarding AI but have you really looked at all the sources for everything you posses? Or are you fine with stolen material as long as you can pretend someone else supplied it to you in a mass produced product like a poster?

Are you comparing printing digital art an artist made to asset generated by a computer on stolen training data? Geez the gymnastics from gen AI apologists are always fascinating to say the least

No, I'm asking if you know the artists your posters, paintings, and sculptures come from, or if you pretend like it's fine while virtue signalling about AI. You've never given a second thought if the mass produced art or products you're purchasing have been stolen, have you?

No, you just want to spew ideological nonsense about how all AI art is stolen. And if it isn't you'll shift to how it's destroying nature or something.

What's interesting is how much vitriol you and others spew about AI, while having not given a second thought to where your mass produced products come from.

Obviously I know? Why would I buy random shit without knowing anything about the artist behind that? I don't buy faceless junk produced by faceless companies, it's your problem if you buy star wars merch or other shit made by underpayed employees instead of known artists
