Avoid the huge websites and seek out small communities if they pop up, these huge websites will eventually collapse under their own greed, it just might take a few years.
I know at least for DA, all their posts that promote their ai users are getting SWAMPED with real artists telling them off. Many of them sharing screenshots of canceling memberships and deleting their accounts so I believe you are onto something there. Eventually, this trend is gonna lose its steam. These ppl will lose money and less and less will invest in it. And these companies will just keep trying to raise the prices. Greed is greed. So I know many will eventually be priced out of using the tools bc capitalism logic. If they will insanely increase stuff like our basic needs like food and shelter, what's stopping them from doing it with the ai tools?
Its truly sad to see, I usually use DA as a place to find reference. It really does anger me that it has made it harder for me find what I need for Pinup poses, but now its category is all ruined with all this AI junk.
Idk if that helps at all but I know there are these big female and male model packs for a couple bucks on artstaion that have been helpful for me. Trying to find references feels like a battle in of itself thanks to all of this so I totally understand the frustration. 😞
