Art Thief Stole WiP Art From Artist, Demands Credit
Guess there is no honour among thieves.
Pic credit to Genshin Impact on Twitter.
A Genshin Impact fanartist’s work-in-progress art was stolen on stream and the thief demanded full credit for it.
AT is a Korean-speaking artist who streams their work-in-progress works on Twitch. They occasionally live stream their works.
A Twitter user by the name Musaishh took a screenshot of the AT’s work on stream, and used it as a reference picture in Novel AI.
The result is an AI-generated art, which bears a striking resemblance to AT’s in-progress fanart.
AT posted the completed Raiden Shogun fanart on their Twitter about six hours after Musaishh and the latter demanded credit from the original artist.
Social media users, especially on Twitter, responded to their tweet, saying: “They had the audacity to demand a proper credit.”
During a Twitch stream AT (@haruno_intro) had their art stolen.
The thief then finished the sketch by using NovelAI and posted on their Twitter before AT finish it.

Musaishh has since deactivated their Twitter account after receiving backlash from social media users and artists alike.
AI-generated arts have been quite controversial on social media these days, and people question the morality behind it as most AI-generated arts use references stolen from various artists.
