"It's a scam for artists to encourage people to expect art in RPG products and also to expect me to pay for art and artists bullied RPG makers into not using A.I. art" is a great way to burn any goodwill artists might have had towards you.

This kills me as much as anything when it comes to A.I. Say goodbye to seeing new art from professionals. (Or anyone else who cares about the integrity of their work.)

He's also threatening a "thermonuclear name & shame" for companies that suspend advertising on Twitter which is a super great way to make sure no company ever advertises with you.

If you know that you're hosting a party for a champion cake stomper, and he shows up with his best cake stomping boots on, and you put the cake on the ground in front of him, maybe don't be surprised when he puts his foot in it.

I once encountered someone on DeviantArt who was taking people's art, erasing their signatures, and posting it as his.
He was even taking requests for what to "draw" next.
That is exactly what prompt crafters are.
