To be fair to both sides, there's been unused images left in the folders that looked very, very AI. I've asked Nitrolith if they use AI at any point in the process and their answer was no. I don't feel any need to pry further.if he did then where's the 1000% increase of images? ai art lets you put out 500 images in a day. did he spend all that time and energy learning ai art so he could make the same amount of images he previously did? which are merely copying what he already did before ai art was a thing?
logically, no. at most you'd say he's using some filter/tool that comes with photoshop/whatever program that's ai powered and turns images into more stylized pixel art, which have existed for over a decade, and are just used for backgrounds. even that is iffy though cause there's backgrounds dated from 2021 which are pretty similar to the stuff he's done in 2025.
Fundamentally, "AI or not" debate above kind of misses the point: is Nitrolith creating good and original art? The problem with AI art is that it's painfully generic, the specific scene, gesture, position etc that really make porn art is missing.
Let's take an example of an artist who has (iirc) admitted to using AI filters: Milda Sento. Yeah, it their art now has that glossy look AI is (in)famous for. But I do actually think there's now a bit more visual depth. Fundamentally, it hasn't stopped them from producing exciting new scenes, animation and characters.
As you noted, the problem with AI isn't necessarily that one individual image but how sites become swamped with 500 poor quality images that the person generating them don't have the effort or ability to even give a basic touch-up. Same as the plague of AI-translations by people who speak neither Japanese nor English.
Probably saves Nitrolith the work of having to create two different storylines.As a minor form of addressal, this is on purpose. Post-timeskip lovey-dovey Erin pretends he hates Mars in public and is trying to get assassinnation attempts on him or whatever, but on private he's over him. The idea seemingly is to trick Cecille. Basically, Erin would be cucking Cecille. We just don't have any of the in-private moments because he update doesn't really include character-stuff, only the demon hunters thingy
