    hi OP! I love that you wrote these instructions, they are going to help a lot of new users!

    however, a significant number of people, including artists such as myself, wouldn’t feel comfortable about the use of AI art on this post :(

    I’d be willing to replace this same image with original art for free if you’d like! as a small way to contribute to this community. would you be insterested in that? maybe my original take on the image you used for this post or something else that you prefer.

    feel free to DM me if you’re interested ✌🏻

      I would love that, thank you so much for offering! I’ve always seen AI as a placeholder at most, and I’m hoping over time people will replace the images everywhere that I’ve used them.

      maybe my original take on the image you used for this post or something else that you prefer.

      Up to you 😊
