The best way to fight AI is to embrace traditional artworking techniques (and also embrace imperfection). Computers can't simulate creating something with pens, paint and paper.

Paradox of the digital age: more 'primitive' artworking techniques are the only indisputably 'human' forms of expression.

Oh that confirms what I thought this image was, yeah.

It's... kinda hard to look at.

I think it's because having Grimlock in the form of a T-rex have a showdown with his nemesis/archenemy Shockwave in the form of a Spinosaurus is both poetic and metal as hell; On the top of a volcano; Bits of flesh burning off revealing endoskeletons underneath.

Delightful.

I have to say 'Whirlpool' (in the background there) is a really cool character. It's a shame we've only really just recently found out about her.
