again, this situation has been handled so although this whole thing really sucked for me, they did do as I asked and took down the listings. so this video is not made as an invitation for you to become an angry mob and attack them with messages. i've moved on from this situation and my goal for putting this video out is to show the impact of AI on small artists and creatives through scamming and misinformation.

AI is such a huge topic that i could spend hours delving into. so this 12 minute summary of this ai scam situation hardly scrapes the surface, but i hope i made my stance clear.
