@gisgeek@floss.social My avatar image was drawn by an illustrator on a commission. I don't have the skills to draw. 😅
(That reminds me, I really should reach out to them to commission an update)
Though my question wasn't about your intention with the image, but rather what the audience/reader associates with it, when seeing it.
I think that their thoughts matter, though of course this doesn't have to mean their thoughts matter _to you_. (And that's fine, really. You do you! 😸)

@sjn@chaos.social I understand the point of view of artists and creators. Being used for neural net training is not something many of them have ever contemplated. Which is fine, but licenses and copyright exist for that. But it's a totally different matter. Again, it is not about quality, and I could cite that photography was not considered art in the old days. At that time, a drawing was art, a photo a mere reproduction of reality. Perceptions of such things change a lot. We live in interesting times.
