I USE THE SAME BRUSH SETS 😭😭 I swear they are amazing

Pintrest is like a library we come to look at cool art but don't expect to talk and socialize

[nyxly]

The fact that Pinterest doesn't have a community is one of the reasons I like it. I see it as basically just a big visual search engine, a tool, for finding references and inspo and figuring stuff out, and my extreme introvert self is REALLY GLAD that I don't have to interact.

I like Pinterest bc there isn't a community, it's like a breath of fresh air

[sakareeh]

The point of Pinterest not having a community is so true

[delial.]

Pinterest "not having a community" is a blessing. No toxicity, no drama, no dumb stuff, just pics and vids of whatever you are looking for. It's chill, It's stress free, It's just you in your world of inspo. It's just that simple: we do have a community, but we are simply chill and minding our business.

[OSKI]

praying for a Pinterest alternative with 0 AI, legitimate references are becoming harder and harder to obtain :(

[Tylxrs.life.s]

THE WORST PART IS WHEN YOU KEEP LOOKING AT THE SAME TOPIC FOR A WHILE BUT GO TO SEARCH LIKE SOMETHING BASIC "Cookies" AND THEN YOU JS GET THE STUFF YOU USUALLY LOOK AT 😭⁉️ i literally searched for "Cookies" AND GOT ANIME BOYS ⁉️

[K.KLovelyz]

The only time Pinterest becomes a social community is within those Pinterest "whispers".

[smalldewdrops]

pinterest used to be a fun site i could spend hours on looking up references, tutorials and art styles that i could feel inspired by... now i'm lucky to have keywords whose search results aren't filled to the brim with AI :(

it takes a lot more effort and curation now to have an AI free feed, which dampens any motivation i may have and exhausts me more than inspires me

[camellia_rosa]

This is so true and actually very sad as Pinterest is one of the best image-search platforms and could be such a great place for artists and clients, but these issues really make it difficult to even consider this website as a valuable 'social' media platform to post our art or get some inspo from other artists 💔

[Big-Tork-Large-Gass]

AI art should be straight up banned from any major art sharing site, it's insane that this stuff is allowed to go on

[ChiiVocaloid]

What sucks about the "no credit on Printrest" part is that, before the AI image generation hype, I was finding a LOT more posts that would link directly to the artists' original posts. Most of them were from Twitter, but some were from Deviant Art and Tumblr. And then the hype blew up and I can't find real art hardly at all anyway.
(by "linked to" I mean that, at least on the app, if you click on the image or description of the image it would redirect you to the original post instead of "show more like this")

[strawbrii-]

Just remember, AI "art" isnt art. Its just AI-generated images.




edit: wow i was not expecting this to get this much attention but this is just my opinion and it doesn't really matter if you agree or not :)

another edit: I said this bc AI doesn't make its own art, instead it merges a bunch of other art pieces which is more like generating the art. The first definition that shows up when you search up art definition is "the expression or application of *human* creative skill and imagination, typically..." I don't think a robot is a human, do u?

[mozzapple]

I miss back when you'd search "anime boy art" and it'd be a bunch of edgy 2010s anime boys... not soulless AI garbage

[Animerose]

I love that there is no community in pintrest. Closed my Twitter account, I never on Facebook, I barely use Tumblr and Instagram. I'm sick and tired of socials. I mainly use YouTube and I rarely comment.. so going on pintrest to just seek references in peace and absence of commentary is a godsend for me

[MGCXDior]

Am I the only one who doesn't have pintrest ads??
Edit: I use it on my phone without any AdBlockers or VPN. I'm not American or European either. Guess I'm just blessed lol

[pnkfsgl]

I’m always confused when they say ‘credits to the original artist’…cause like, that’s not crediting them. That’s admitting it’s not yours.

[Tindre]

Referencing something is never stealing. Take inspiration in what inspires you whether that be ai garbage or the bottom of a teacup or a fashion catalouge

[xekrph]

Its also annoying that people will say the art looks like it was Ai generated even though its clearly not
