Readit NewsLife always comes down to personal choices and it's always the hard ones that are the most important. No law will ever change that.
And then they're on platforms with zero protections because nobody knows they're a teen... end result is worse.
Government steps in to "fix" a "problem" and then:

Create problems with their "solutions."
Implore the populous to reelect them to fix all the problems.

The other day I posted a short showcasing some artwork I made for a TCG I'm in the process of creating.
Comments poured in saying it was "doomed to fail" because it was just "AI slop"
In the video itself I explained how I made them, in Adobe Illustrator (even showing some of the layers, elements, etc).
Next I'm actually posting a recording of me making a character from start to finish, a timelapse.
Will be interesting if I get any more "AI slop" comments, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to share anything drawn now because people immediately assume it's generated.
