Hello everyone!

I’m not going to wait any longer, and I’ve decided to abandon the idea of ​​doing animations with AI.

It was just an idea to bring something new to my Patreon and help it grow.

I thank all of you (on Patreon) for your comments, and I appreciate that you were polite and kind here.

In a single day, I received more comments than I had in 10 years across all my social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and X). Most of these comments were hurtful, rude, aggressive, and insulting. It has been very hard for me... and I hope it will stop now that I delete the posts...

In any case, I will continue creating mi animated gifs, which I enjoy very much.

And again, thank you all for your comments and kindness!

BIG HUGS

I'm very glad that you decided not to go through it. I do agree that you shouldn't have been sent hatful or hurtful comments. I just hope you've learned from all of this experience and will continue to grow your art, without AI. If I may add something to all of this sir. I respect you and admire you. I've followed you since the early days of Class Comics. You made an impact on my life. You inspired me to take up digital art and try my hand at adult content. I would not be where I am, nor have what I have if it wasn't for you inspiring me. So I hope you understand how disappointed and saddened I was to see you use AI in your work. When I saw the preview my heart sank seeing you sully your work with it. I know we try to use what we can to grow but this was not it. Considering the harm done by AI and the information your community has given you, again I just hope you'll learn from this and do better in the future. No just focus on the mean comments, but also understand why things like AI are such a touchy subject. I genuinely want to see you grow and keep creating sir. I say this out of admiration for your work and out of great concern. Thank you

Oh it sounds like it has been a tough few days! Sorry to hear it’s been so hard… good to have made a decision on it all though. Sounds like there are some pretty strong feelings out there. Hope the rest of the week improves, and sending you a virtual bear hug to help calm your probably frazzled nerves! 🥰

Well. I loved your AI animations. I am sad you aren’t doing them anymore. They were awesome man

So happy about your decision, David, and so sorry people were so rude and aggressive towards you. Strong feelings are no excuse for that kind of behavior. Offering you big hugs and best wishes on your continued creative work!

Mi spiace tanto amico mio che tu abbia dovuto sperimentare ancora una volta quanto la gente sia così cattiva e che sia così facile per loro aggredire prontamente invece di cercare un confronto costruttivo. Si stava solo parlando di una possibile idea/progetto da realizzare con il supporto dell'AI, e non era detto che poi alla fine l'avresti realizzata per davvero, e ti hanno meschinamente e squallidamente massacrato, quasi senza diritto di replica. Manco se avessi commesso chissà quale crimine. Quanto è esagerata a volte la gente!!! Mi spiace veramente tanto amico mio. Non meritavi tutto questo clima ostile e aggressivo. Sei un grande Artista e c'è chi ti stima profondamente e non ti giudica per presunte scelte impopolari, ma non farti abbattere dalla stupidità altrui. Perché purtroppo ne siamo pieni. Ma tu puoi e devi essere più forte. Ti sono vicino come sempre e ti abbraccio forte forte. 🫂💖😘

Grazie, amico mio! Ieri è stata davvero una giornata difficile, a dire il vero! Ma sto bene, non preoccuparti! È tutto finito! Continuerò a creare in pace! 😘😘😘

Lilo Arpen

Posso immaginarlo e ripeto che non ti meritavi tutti questi attacchi gratuiti e inutili. Comunque amico mio, semmai avessi bisogno di sfogarti con un amico, sai che ci sono e sai dove trovarmi e scrivermi. Ti voglio bene grande Artista. 🫂💖😘

I think people get exceedingly emotional and polarised on the topic, plus of course social media are just a pile of crap these days, not worth for anything except for making people show their worst side. I get the various concerns and issues that AI has, and there are valid arguments on why not to use them indiscriminately. On the other hand, it's not like it's going anywhere, and I think it's perfectly legitimate and almost inevitable that proper artists play with the medium -maybe creating a system that is trained on their own production exclusively, to avoid intellectual property issues. I don't think that this absolute rejection, and even less the hysteric tones that the conversation takes on social media, helps at all in regulating its use. Fells like a Pavlov reaction: you name AI, you get hateful comments regardless of the actual content.
