Are there any Humans on this forum?
Mostly it feels like the "talk-to-Darktiste-and-bots-forum". Is Darktiste Human or AI ?
Are there any other users?
If you are a human say something! Maybe say something that clearly proofs you are not a bot.

It's tough times - a lot of people are focusing on their career, or just existing.
I for one have been on-again-off-again for a while. Currently in a biiiiiiiiig dip waiting for the next blip.

Tell me how you would go about proving someone a bot. If you can't i think it might be best you learn how to before you get scam or worst...

No, there's basically no humans here. I've actually been a bot this whole time, myself.

I might as well be a bot, seein' as none of the actual people I know in situ seem to give a shit about anythin' I'm doin
Rather be a bot than nonexistent, I guess (actually, would much rather be non-existent, honestly. Least I wouldn't be havin to deal with **gestures broadly** none o'this bullshit

I'm still human, probably.
If I had to guess what the "problem" is, it's that art forums (and artists in general) are going the way of the dinosaurs. Because, you know, AI and whatnot.
Most of us art enthusiasts just sit at home drowning out our sorrow with Top Ramen, brownies, classic video games, and other assorted nostalgia triggers. Sometimes I even find the strength and courage to open my window blinds and look outside.
Mostly though, I just sit in my room, lights out, listening to depressing music, brooding, pondering the fate of our species.
Soon we'll have plenty of company: musicians/singers, writers, actors, graphic designers/animators, programmers, mathematicians, truck/taxi drivers, customer service/sales reps, secretaries, financial analysts, paralegals, prostitutes...
It's a brave new world out there, so take care of yourselves!

Ask, and it will be given to you
seek, and you will find
knock, and the door will be opened to you.

Deviant art still exist and probably see more activity but the question become more about what you are looking for in a forum. Is it just ''like validation'',a spot to share your work, a corner to achieve your own work ,community challenge, feedback, somewhere to network, a place to hang out will drawing, somewhere you can call home.
When it come the time to pick a community you can't necessarily expect it to have it all and sometime you have to look into the attic to find the gold nugget.
For me when i came here i was a young artist i needed all the information i could collect for free and i was happy to find out the resource section that was like hitting gold at that time when online tutorial have yet explode there was no ''road map'' of the best place to start. I wasn't looking to make friend or to participate in community challenge but one can always stay open. It good to have an idea of what to expect but to be ready to accept that thing will change and you never know what more the community as to offer than you initially anticipated or look after.

It's a brave new world out there, so take care of yourselves! Nah, screw that! AI gets better and making pictures every day. But it isn't alive, it doesn't even 'think'. It will never feel awe, or heartbreak, or guilt. It will never be happy to see another sunrise. It will never suffer like we do. It's not too late to make something real! This place has always been about pushing each other's nose to the grindstone, so let's get to work. I'm not giving up, and you shouldn't either!
