I've been quietly observing the Twitter exodus of artists from the platform and yeah, I get that. That AI Edit Image button is pretty much a "have some spray paint cans, go nuts" move on an art gallery.

I remember back then when a Japanese artist shared her work on the platform and clearly took a lot of effort to draw what she loved and some stranger just decided to disfigure the image "for fun" and she was horrified at what they'd done. Terrible stuff.

One would argue, yeah, you could just save photos / screenshot and ChatGPT to alter it. That's correct, this isn't new. It's the upfront slap in the face that's normalizing this behavior for passers-by to do that's terrible here imho. All for the sake of pushing more AI usage numbers.
