Nintendo just politely gave the bird to generative AI and I'm glad they did.

Generative AI basically steals from real artists by taking images found online and using them to make new ones. Instagram started going all in on that bullshit which is why I took my art down from Instagram and so did other artists I know. It's a breath of fresh air that Nintendo is standing against soulless AI "art".
