“I’m sorry I needed the money”

“YOUR PARENTS ARE LOADED” is so funny to me 😭😭

Hey. I'm the artist in the video I just found out you made this! 😭

thank you all for the kind words, in moments of doubt if I did the right thing people like you keep me sane. I'm a little shocked this has never happened before all I can really say is thank you for the support, maybe look at my art sometime! Thank you for the love, support real artists!

What a DISGUSTING person?!!?
The "explanation" was so condescending and dismissive I am FUMING.
How can you do this to someone you call a friend???
"I makes me feel shitty". GOOD, AS IT SHOULD.

jesus i hate when friends turn out like this. i have a friend who apparently takes my art and whitewashes it behind my back. they didnt even tell me, i learned from someone else. still too scared to confront them. why cant people be NORMAL and actually be good FRIENDS to others.

EDIT: I have not cut them off because I have barriers preventing me from stabily doing so, such as a lack of support system that's stable enough to be able to cut such a close friend off. Also, I am mad at the racism and the backstabbing needed to do such a thing to me. I am not one who cares if someone takes an anime character and draws them as mixed race or darker skin. But I am an independent artist who is having my own art defiled and sent to others for no clear reason.

The betrayal is heavy on this one. The audacity to ask the artist to delete the post because it made them feel wronged, they know it's wrong leeching off of their friend and still did it..

as somebody who cant get a job due to disabilities, who cant even afford enough for food right now, who cant even buy a phone, and is trying to live off of art, seeing someone stoop THIS LOW is so vile, they have no excuse for this, at all...

The so-called """friend""" could've used literally ANY free-to-use adopt-ready base and make adoptables if they were that desperate for money. Or they could've asked if Sirpyes could help them make adopts to sell. That would've been WAY better than stealing their art and feeding it into AI while knowing Sirpyes' stance on AI generated pieces. If my friends did this, they'd be cut out of my life faster than you can say "fuck around and find out".

The way Sirpyes languages changes from "oh no! did you get hacked?" to "What?" is so intense, you can feel their world shatter as they realize what their friend did, its heart breaking oml

What's insane is. They could have used like official Sega art, colored over it, and then fed it to the AI. It would have produced the same results: Ugly AI trash. Do I think that is better? No. My point is they didn't have to use their friend like this if they really wanted the money. They made a conscious choice to take advantage of Sirpyes

"I'm sorry, okay?"

Crazy that there are people out there who think that actually counts as an apology.

"AI aRt IsN't ThEfT,iT lEaRnS LiKe HuMaNs WoUlD"
this was VILE

"It makes me feel shitty..." AS IT SHOULD. THE ACTUAL AUDACITY OML.

"Can you remove it? its embarrassing and makes me feel shitty"
Roughly translates to:
"I'm a disgusting person and I desperately don't want you to remind me because I have the conscious to know I'm in the wrong but I refuse to change myself, so I'm going to make you feel bad instead so I don't have to feel terrible for my own wrong doings."

The fact that the original's art style is so much better?? 😭

thats sad af, i would go ballistic if that happened to me 💀

The fact sirpyes blurred their user & pfp because they actually THOUGHT about how someone could easily doxx them with little info even after they did that to them is heartbreaking and shows that sirpyes genuinely thinks about the consequences of their actions unlike their friend 😓💔
So glad sirpyes didnt even think twice about dropping them though because they literally had convos about it and they still did something with ai like you're literally crazy 😭

To me, this is the equivalate of finding out your friend has been stealing money from you. But then they tried to act like the victim because they needed to steal your money for a computer part...

Kids falling for DeviantArt's bait smh... You're not going to get rich selling AI "adopts" on DA. Also, you need to keep paying DA like $150 a year (or $15 a month) otherwise they are going to take 10%-15% in fees for every sale.

The worst type of betrayal

"can you delete it it makes me feel shitty :("    YOU SHOULD!!!!!
